Without an extract for 1775 — no card of this village carries that tariff. It is a missing extract in the card index, not a gap in the numbering of the cards.
Caveats on the years' registers (1)
What the compiler noted beside the entry itself, and what the table above does not show:
T90 — On card 1) the siglum T90 stands twice: once in black ink beside the brace covering the two-line note on the inn with a brewery in Uroczysko (no. 1), once in blue lower down, beside the entry on the grange of Jelenice (no. 2). Both entries come from the same register of 1790, so I keep them in one section. Only the second entry gives a number of hearths.
The card-index entries
Every extract for this locality in the wording of the cards, year by year. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this year. At a collective item the same card text stands beside every person named — because the card names them together and they must not be separated. The hearths given at a collective item are an equal division among those named, not a reading.

The card's reckoning agrees: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 1 inn + 22 cottages with 1 householder + 2 cottages with 2 householders = 27 hearths. The figures „1” beside the first group of cottages and „2” beside the second are written thickly, after a correction by the copyist — the reading is confirmed by the card's own total. „chor. ziemi mieln.” I expand as chorąży ziemi mielnickiej, standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land.

The card gives no forename of the hereditary owner — only the surname and the office. The wording is identical in build with the T₀89 at Celiny tuchowickie (card 2).

The surname [reading uncertain]: certain are the opening „Ła-” (a small capital with a crossbar) and the ending „-uskiego”; the third letter is a tall loop closed with a bowl, that is, in this hand, a „b” (cf. „brow.” on card 2), and not a „d” (cf. „dwór”, „do” — there the „d” has first the bowl, then the ascender without a loop). Hence „Łabuski”; I do not rule out „Ładuski”. „przy tamie Jelenia” [reading uncertain] — on the card „pry_amie” is legible, which I expand as „przy tamie”, by the dam; O83 records a mill at Jeleniec, and so a dam makes good sense. The entry gives no number of hearths: it is a note on an object lying in Uroczysko (the card cross-refers „zob. Uroczysko”, „Patrz Stanin”), and not a hearth-bearing holding of Jeleniec — and so the hearths figure is null and it does not enter the total of 28. Verification of 17 IX 2026: the line examined under magnification, the buildings entered in the the breakdown of buildings field, because the card names them outright. At this line the card gives no hearths, so the hearths figure remains empty; the 28 hearths of the second T90 extract belong to the grange of Jeleniec, not to the inn. The the breakdown of buildings field serves to break the hearths down into buildings and must sum to them; here the card gives no breakdown of the hearths, so the building is recorded with a marker in the annotations.
The card gives no forename; from T89 and T₀89 it is known that Józef Markowski, standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land, is meant, but the wording of T94 itself stops at the surname, and so I do not supply the forename.
This locality in the full edition of the hearth-tax registers — together with a search across all persons, a modern map, Perthées’s engraving of 1786 and a statistical summary.
