ban mc neil ;” it is accompanied with a gloss and notes. The 
second piece commences thus: ‘* Cea ingean luroeach,” and 
the penmanship of this is not so neatly executed as that of the 
other, than which nothing can be more beautiful. Upon the 
cover of this volume the following note, or rather title, will be 
found: “enelaé na naom a nodn, Cum opusculis de uxoribus 
et matribus filiorum Milesii et successorum.” ‘This MS. was 
finished January, 1642, and although, judging by the hand- 
writing, I am almost certain it was written by Michael O’ Clery, 
I was unable to find his name in the volume, 
Vol. VI. (2569, 2572). This is a small quarto, con- 
taining poems in the Irish character and language, some in the 
handwriting of Michael O’Clery, others,—the greater part, I 
may say,—in another hand, with the corrections, or rather an- 
notations, of O'’Clery, appearing here and there through them. 
The heading of some of the poems is as follows: ‘ giolla na 
ndom ua ouin,” “ giolla caomain Ec.” ~~ Fol. 23, ¢* nic vapig Cc.” 
At the conclusion of these poems is a continuous prose piece 
in Irish, commencing thus : 
n = - 
“ Gai vocive, 1ongit adbalmon an ep yle.”’ 
This is in the handwriting of Michael O’Clery, and was 
finished by him at the convent of Donegal, in November, 1635. 
This latter piece is styled in the ‘‘ Inventaire” ‘* Guerres 
des Irlandais et des Danois.” 
Vol. VII. (3195). This MS. is a large folio, containing 
104 leaves, closely written on both sides. It is a History of 
the Franciscan Order in Ireland. Upon the fly-leaf is written 
the following note, first in red and again in black ink : 
_*¢ F* Antonius Purcell compegit hunc librum 
jussu Rdi. admodum P. Fratris Donah Mooney 
ordinis minor. Regular. observantize 
Ministri Provincialis, aio domini 1617, die Novembris 
2°. in collegio Fratrum Hybernorum Lovanii 
pro quo pius Lector ex charitate 
oret.”
