1. The notation on a note, “This note constitutes a lien on all fixtures and equipment at 268 Grill, 268 Williams ' Street,” is sufficient to constitute a valid chattel mortgage upon the property named therein. Code § 67-102. The description contained a key which would be sufficient with the aid of extrinsic evidence to adequately identify the property covered by the mortgage. Green v. Rogers, 62 Ga. 166 (1); Kiser & Co. v. Carrollton Dry Goods Co., 96 Ga. 760 (1, 4) (22 S. E. 303); Clark v. Dodson Printers’ Supply Co., 137 Ga. 324 (73 S. E. 580); International Harvester Co. v.
