34 Onogbha.—From this it would appear that the cave under the mound of Knowth 
was open at the time of Cormac Mac Art; probably it had not been closed up after the 
rifling by the Danes. The modern Irish name for the bat is Jaltog or Sciathan-lea- 
thair, leather-wing.

36 Lenn Uar.—The vale of the Uar, near Elphin, county of Roscommon. 
37 Sliabh-da-Ean. Slieve-Daen, in the county of Sligo. 
38 Cadhans.—This is still a living word, and is applied to the barnacle, which 
migrates to this country from Shetland about the 15th October, which was formerly so 
abundant at Wexford, Tralee, and along the coast of Kerry. The true barnacle, or 
Anas erythropus, is seldom seen at either of these places; but the brent goose, or Anas 
bernicla, is still common. The locality here mentioned, Turloch Bruigheoil, which is 
very celebrated in Irish history, is the small lake of Bree-oile, in the barony of Athlone, 
county of Roscommon. Turlochs, or collections of water which become nearly dry in sum- 
mer, abounded in that county—such as the Turloch of Carrokeel, the Turloch of Castle- 
plunket, and that of Turlochmore, &c.
