Read the description of the subjects in the disposition. Look for phrases which indicate that the description is referring back to prior sasine deeds. The format is usually similar to:

• More particularly described in …

Each individual subjects will refer back to a prior sasine deed.

• Do the individual subjects all refer back to different sasine deeds? Then the routes of title characteristic applies.
