Note: The first item in BP 27 is a vellum cover with the title, 'A. A. THE OUTLANDISH BOOKE'. This may have served as the cover to the booklet containing the large collection of workdiary entries which makes up Workdiary 21 and spans over 100 pages in BP 27. The cover is unpaginated and is followed by a folded foolscap sheet, on whose second and third sides (i.e. pp. 2-3) is written mnemonic verses which key letters and numbers to various of Boyle's works, as listed in his 'The Order of my Several Treatises'. These verses are not reproduced here, since they have already been published in Works, xiv, 335-6 . The workdiary itself begins on BP 27, p. 5, with a page on which is written, very faintly and in pencil, the title of the workdiary -- 'Promiscuous Experiments. Observations & Notes.'-- and the remainder of which is blank. The entries themselves begin on p. 6. Our transcription of the workdiary commences at p. 5
Note: Text is also found in BP 26, fol. 88v, entry 201

Entry: 376a
Date: 5 January, late 1660's
Note: The entries on p. 62 may not be part of the workdiary. They are not part of the numbered sequence, and the entries are written on the bottom half of the last side of a folded foolscap sheet, the remainder of which is missing. The numbered series recommences on the following page (p. 63). However, although the content of these two entries is very different from that of the surrounding entries, the hand is the same unknown hand which picks up the numbered sequence again on p. 63. This suggests some connection, if only in date of composition, between these entries and the workdiary at this point. For this reason we have included a transcription of these entries, even though we do not know how they were intended to connect with the numbered sequence.

Entry: 501
Date: after 30 Sept. 1670
Note: On p.85, a new series of entries begins, numbered from 501 onwards and continuing to 767. It is possible that a large group of intervening entries is now lost. However, another possibility is that entries numbered 501-767 represent a parallel series of entries compiled over the same period as entries 201-424: this is suggested by the fact that various of the same amanuenses were employed in both series. There are a number of parallels for Boyle's practice of starting a sequence of numbers at 501 (see Scrupulosity and Science, p. 218).

Note: There may well be a break in the sequence of entries at this point, considering that this page starts a new four-page folded foolscap sheet, the hand changes abruptly to E, and that the immediately preceding entry had to be completed in the margin, suggesting that p. 97 was actually started before the final entry on p. 96 was finished. Thus it is very probable that the 'he' in this entry is not the same narrator as in the preceding two entries.
