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 QEngussei, 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 calt-skin rudely stitched 

 upon its back. 



Vol. XVI II., 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 Hibernise extracta 

 ex codice membraneo Nehemise mac .Sigan Senis, Hibernici 

 juris peritissimi, in Ormonia, per Ferbissium ad usum R. D. 

 Joannis Lynch. " Ab anno Xti circiter 571 ad annum plus
