ban mc neil ;" it is accompanied with a gloss and notes. Tlie 

 second piece commences thus : ^' C^ea m^ean luioeach," 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 : " ^enelac na naorii a noan. 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, 

 1 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: "5'°^^° "" 

 naom ua buin," " jioUa caomain cc." Fol. 23, " mc oapij cc." 

 At the conclusion of these poems is a continuous prose piece 

 in Irish, commencing thus : 



"6a) Docibe, lonjn abbalmop ap efi vie." 



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. Fratrls Donah Mooney 



ordinis minor. Regular, observantise 



Ministri Provincialis, ano domini 1617, die Novembris 



2°. in collegio Fratrum Hybernorum Lovanii 



pro quo plus Lector ex charitate 



oret."
