Thus far I have collected and beg to submit the Tain series 

 as far as I found complete versions of them in old Irish MSS. 



I have another collection of Tains, and tales connected 

 directly or indirectly with them, from more modem manuscripts, 

 to which I will refer presently, but in this volume I have in- 

 cluded none but complete versions, from our oldest and best 

 books. 



Uocm^nc^. — "Courtships." Besides the courtship of Bee 

 Fola, already published in the Irish manuscript series of the 

 " Proceedings of the Academy," I have given in my translation 

 of Leabhar na h- TJidhri the important tale of 



Uocrrnvpc eme]\e. — " Courtship of Emer" and Cuchulaind, 

 as far as it is preserved in that manuscript, and the complete 

 version of the tale from a vellum MS. Brit. Mus. (Harleian, 

 5280) . I now submit two other tales of the same class : — 



Uocmos]\c qiebt^nie. — " Courtship of Treblan," by Fraech, 

 son of Fidacl, which may be regarded as a sequel to Tain Bo 

 Fraech ; and 



Uocm&'pc pejibi. — " Courtship of Ferb," by Mane, son of 

 Ailell and Medb, which I have already mentioned in my Ad- 

 denda to the episodes of the Tain Bo Cuailnge. 



Cac^. — "Battles." In my translation of Leabhar na h- 

 Uidhri, I have given the Battle of Cam Conaill as an example 

 of this class of Tales. I now submit the two battles of Magh 

 Tuireadh : — 



C^u him^c cin]\ex) Cung^.— "Battle of Moy Tura of Cong."
