The Gospel according to St. Mark begins at fol. 61, and 
__is introduced with the usual symbol of the Lion, drawn, how- 
_ ever, as Wanley observes, ‘‘ by one who never saw the crea- 
ture.” The marginal catena recommences with this Gospel, but 
only proceeds for seven pages, stopping at fol. 64, and not so 
delicately written as in the preceding. The Gospel ends at 
_ fol. 86, with the signature : 
. Op 00 Maelbpigce qui pembpic hune bpum. 
‘ A prayer for Maelbrigid who wrote this book.’ 
St. Luke begins at fol. 87, and has the symbol of an Ox, 
rudely executed. The catena on this Gospel goes no further 
than four pages, breaking off at foot of fol. 88 d. 
Fol. 97 d, in a single line in margin is : 
Quioam c.—Tpian po choowpe Cpipc can 
Oranabai quips In calmam; 
Instn lapwip ain,

Quidam cecinit.—‘ Three that were resuscitated by the gentle Christ 
When he was for a time upon earth; 
The daughter of Jairus the noble, 
The son of the widow, and Lazarus.’ 
St. John’s Gospel begins at fol. 128, and ends at fol. 156.
