Lawlok — A Charter of Donatus, Prior of Louth. 323 



In this connexion it may be observed that the seal attached to Donat's 

 Charter is described, both on the seal itself and in the text of the document, 

 as the seal, not of the Convent, but of the Chapter of the Church of St. Mary. 

 The seal of Bishop Cristin's Charter is lost, but in the text it is described as 

 " sigillum nostrum," which is naturally construed to mean the seal of the 

 Bishop, Prior, and Convent. Whether this difference of form should be 

 regarded as significant, I do not know. 



I have to thank the Marquis of Ormonde for permitting me to publish 

 the Charter, and to have the photograph taken, a reproduction of which 

 illustrates this paper. 



NOTE ADDED IN THE PPESS. 



Much erne is possibly Cremorne (Crich Mnghdhorna), if we may assume 

 that that territory was as extensive in the twelfth as in the seventh century. 

 See Peeves, Adamnan, p. 81, note d. But the identification suggested above, 

 p. 315, seems more probable.
