* When the name is printed in italics, I refer to the work as published; when in inverted com1mas, to the work in a more general way, in any or all of its forms.
* Only in the case of The Music of the Ainur was there a direct development, manuscript to manuscript, from The Book of Lost Tales to the later forms; for The Music of the Ainur became separated off and continued as an independent work.
*The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, ed. Humphrey Carpenter, 1981, p. 144. The letter was almost certainly written in 1951.
* J. R. R. Tolkien, Finn and Hengest, ed. Alan Bliss, 1982.
* The great tower or tirion that Ingil son of Inwe built (p. 16) and the great tower of Warwick Castle are not identified, but at least it is certain that Koromas had a great tower because Warwick has one.
† This poem is given, in three different texts, on pp. 33–43.—A poem written at Йtaples in the Pas de Calais in June 1916 and entitled ‘The Lonely Isle’ is explicitly addressed to England. See Letters, p. 437, note 4 to letter 43.
