Chartae 4. fol: de Nostra 2da Quadrandi Methodo, 1686
A tranche of workpapers in which Gregory continues to labour on adapting Newton's method of quadrature. He continues to have trouble adapting the basic series, an indefinite integral, to the definite integral defined between O and x.
One paper among these was probably intended for the Astronomiae, showing a body moving in an ellipse.

Curva Cragio exhibitur, July 1687
Gregory, probably with Pitcairne at his side, sent these curves to Craige in Cambridge, challenging him to find their quadrature. Thus the writing that is not in Gregory's hand may be Craige's.
Demonstratio probl: VII. Lect: Geom D: Barrow pag: 125, c1696
A 29-page tranche of working papers, in which for the most part Gregory appeals to Isaac Barrow as he tries to reconcile his definite with Craige's indefinite integration.

Letter to Sir Archibald Geikie from George Barrow, 08 July 1897
Letter to Sir Archibald Geikie from George Barrow asking if Geikie could send Jethro Justinian Teall, to the Braemar area for between a week and 10 days, in a fortnight's time, as he believes that this will help him to understand the complexities of the metamorphic and dynamometamorpic rocks in the area. He wishes Geikie well for a forthcoming trip with Fridtjof Nansen.
Letter to Sir Archibald Geikie from George Barrow, 27 August 1898
