Upon the opposite side will be seen a fac simile of this 
testimonial ; I have thought it worth presenting to the reader, 
that it might be compared with the signatures of the same three 
individuals as attached to the testimonial upon vellum, in the 
Annals of the Four Masters, now in the Library of the Royal 
Irish Academy, as well as with their handwriting, which may 
be seen in another copy of the same work in Trinity College 
Library. 
Then follows another testimonial to the same effect, signed 
‘¢ Joannes Culenanus. Epus Rapotensis,” with his episcopal 
seal. There is also one in Irish, signed by Conell Mac 
Geoghegan, dated October, 1636, and some short historical 
pieces, finished at the Convent of Donegal, 28 April, 1636. 
Upon the outside of this volume will be found the follow- 
ing note, in a hand apparently as old as that of the text or 
testimonials: ‘* Continens Martyrologia Cingussei, Mariani 
Gormani et Tamlactense et Genealogias SS"™ et plura alia 
opuscula.” We may add, that the binding of this valuable 
volume is of vellum, with a piece of calf-skin rudely stitched 
upon its back. 
Vol. XVIII, containing Nos. 5301 to 5320, inclusive, is 
a very thick quarto paper volume, bound, or rather stitched 
together, with a piece of calf-skin as a cover. Its contents 
are very varied, and, it is presumed, are of much historical 
interest; they are as follows :— 
No. 5301. ‘* Fragmenta tria Annalium Hibernie extracta 
ex codice membraneo Nehemie mac Adgan Senis, Hibernici 
juris peritissimi, in Ormonia, per Ferbissium ad usum R. D. 
Joannis Lynch. ‘Ab anno Xti circiter 571 ad annum plus
