been more imperfect even than I fear they may prove to be. Dr. George 

 Eogerty, B-S.. was the companion and helper of my -work from Sherkin to 

 Boberts Head. Mr. Spencer Travers, of Dooneen, Co. Limerick, and his 

 brother Mr. Travers, of Timoleague, gave me much assistance round Courl- 

 macsherry. To Mrs. Stacpoole of Ardavilling, Cloyne, I owe the completion 

 of my work along the coast of Imokilly. Mr. Francis Hyde Maberley, of 

 Carrigaline, gave me some useful notes on the Doons of Kinure. In the 

 Records I have to thank Mr. James Mills, the Deputy Keeper, and Mr. M. J. 

 MEnery for their usual kind and skilled suggestions, and Mr. E. C. E. 

 Armstrong for a timely reference : while of my predecessors I owe especial 

 obligation to O'Donovan's "Corca Laidhe" and to the less widely known 

 books of that unsparing worker on Cork History — Eiehard Cauliield.
