No. 10 : — (5Sh 34) am. for anim. 

 The objection here implies an omitted horizontal stroke over the 

 i, as in ]S"o. 1, but the stroke, if it ever were there, is now totally 

 indiscernible, owing- to an ink-blotch, which completely covers the 

 space immediately over the z. 



No. 11 : — (58 fl! marg.) acM for ior. 



A seemingly gross blunder, but which simply is, that the tran- 

 scriber has given an s with a horizontal stroke over it (the ordinary 

 sigium for Lat. set, scd, Irish acid), instead of an / with the same 

 stroke : the fault being therefore the omission of one single stroke —

No. 12 : — (67« 43) agaidfor lugatd. 



A piece of vellum has been here inserted, somewhat displacing the 

 letters of this and the preceding word " teit." The cut has carried off 

 the perpendicular body-stroke of the ff. In the MS., immediately pre- 

 ceding the relics of the ff, are two connected verticals of about equal 

 size, curved at the base, but not joined above. These closely resemble 

 an open a. The transcril)cr has accordingly given an a, but has erred 

 in adding the transverse upper dash, which does not exist in the MS. 

 The critic is not, however, justified in reading lu from the MS., for, if 

 the first stroke were regarded as a partly-obliterated I, there would be 

 only one stroke for the u, and yet there was quite sufficient room for 

 the other stroke necessary for the ii, if lu had been intended.

 and 15: — (91 h 13) becda/or becdu. 



The critic is probably correct, but it is the same case of an indis- 

 tinct letter, hardly determinable as a or u, which was referred to in 

 No. 8. 



No. 14: — (72 h 33) dobind for cloberid. 



Here the mistake is very trifling, and lies in the transcriber's hav- 

 ing shifted the sigium for er (which should come as a horizontal stroke 

 over, and to the right of, the b) too much to the right, thereby bring- 

 ing it immediately over the i, and producing the nasal sigium.
