Illud postremo sciendum est quod hanc Salvatoris nostri genealogiam 
quatuor species attingunt que sunt Figura, Profetia, Demonstratio, 
Conyenientia, Figura, ut liber generationis Adee hic est. Profetia, ut

ritalis interpretatio juxta medicinales lineas morales ceu praediximus in- 
telligentiae cunctis credentibus et electis in domino conveniat.

Novick oF SOME OF THE LIVES WHICH SEEM TO HAVE BEEN READY, OR IN 
PREPARATION, FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE ‘‘ Acra Sanctorum Hr- 
BERNI®,” AT THE DEATH OF Corean. By Cuartes Mac Donnext, Esq. 
I copied the following list of biographies of our Irish saints from a 
catalogue of the MSS. and printed books found, after Colgan’s death, in 
his room in the Convent of St. Anthony of Padua, Louvain. There are 
in Rome, in the muniment-room of the Irish Franciscan Convent of St. 
Isidore, several coeval copies of catalogues of what was found on that 
occasion in the poor cell of our venerable hagiographer. They do not 
all contain this list of Saints’ lives at length; and there are slight diffe- 
rences between them otherwise, which induce me to believe they were 
drawn up by different members of the community, deputed, perhaps 
separately, to examine what Colgan had left behind him.
