4. A Dialogue between the Body and the Soul. It is at 
the end of this that Flathri gives us the information above 
stated, from which we learn that he was the writer of the vo- 
lume. And the following tracts seem to be also in his hand : 
5. A Legend of the Virgin Mary. This is imperfect, 
some leaves being lost between what are now fols. 14 and 15 
of the MS. 
6. A Tract entitled Oo jer ppocepena, ‘ Of the Rule of 
Preaching.” 
7. A curious Tract on the institution df the Festival of 
All Saint’s Day. 
8. On the Miracles attending the birth of our Saviour. 
9.A Sermon on the Text, ‘ Intrate per angustam por- 
tam.” 
10. The history of the Right of spiritual Direction of the 
Men of Ireland. 
dl. On the Virtues of Faith, Chastity, Humility, Charity, 
Fortitude, and Temperance. 
At the end of this are notes in Irish, in different hands, 
giving two different calculations of the number of leaves in 
the volume. One of these states that it contains six score 
(which is corrected by another hand to seven Score) leaves 
and one. But a later entry makes the number seven score, 
and astill later note adds, “ and three leaves over.” 
We gain but little information from this note : because it 
must always be uncertain whether it refers to the whole 
volume, or only to that part of it which was written by Flathri 
for Donogh O Brien. If it refers to the whole volume, the 
loss sustained since the seventeenth century, when the note 
appears to have been written, will amount to twenty-three 
leaves. If only to the book of Flathri, the loss will be 130 
leaves. Let us hope, therefore, that the note related to the 
entire volume, which is, perhaps, the more probable supposi- 
tion. There is also another uncertainty attaching itself to 
the Irish mode of counting by scores, for it was very common
