(ii) Poul Anderson, 1987 A. D. IN Anderson, The Shield Of Time (New York, July 1991) AT PART ONE, pp. 26-33.
(iii) Poul Anderson, "Ivory, and Apes, and Peacocks" IN Time Patrol AT pp. 229-331; penultimate passage IN "Ivory, and Apes, and Peacocks" AT pp. 326-327.
(iv) Poul Anderson, 976 B. C. IN The Shield Of Time AT PART ONE, pp. 42-46.
(i) describes a conversation between Manse Everard and Wanda Tamberly. (ii) continues that conversation.
(iii) informs us that, after capturing some Exaltationists, Time Patrol agents led by Everard conferred on a small Aegean island. (iv) recounts a conversation on the island between Everard and one of the prisoners.
Thus, The Shield... is hooked to these two previous installments. "The Year..." and "Ivory..." could be collected as The Thieves Of Time to be read immediately before The Shield... These would be companion volumes to be preceded by The Guardians Of Time and The Gods Of Time.

Kaor, Paul!
Trying to sort out the "internal chronology" of the Time Patrol stories seems to be so complicated.
Ad astra! Sean
