No. 16 : — (109 « 11) iavthusfor arfhus. 



A real mistake on the part of the transcriber, oTving probably to 

 the final ^ of the preceding word: — "loegairi arthws." 



1^0. 17 : — (113 J 15) iorsergfor forseng. 



The error alleged is the confusion of n and r. The MS. has here 

 an unusual form of letter, and one which is not unJike an ordinary r, 

 though the first vertical is not of the normal length. On the other 

 hand, the transcriber, while imitating this shorter stroke, has taken 

 care to give the final r-dash existing in the MS., and which is never 

 found with the n, so that the transcript may be regarded as fairly 

 representing the original. 



1^0. 18 : — (114ffl 9) norumied/ar noruined. 



The word, as it stands in the MS., is distinctly " norumed," the 

 three strokes of the 7)i being clearly joined, so that neither the copyist's 

 " noriinied " (not " norumied," as given in the " Eevue Celtique "), nor 

 the critic's own reading, "noruined," is graphically correct. 



No. 19 : — (114 a 39) uasa uibnanech/or uasauib nanech. 



The MS. has a distinct di\dsion between the final a of uasa, and 

 the following u of uib. 



No. 20 : — (121 a 5) lughand for beith and. 

 The ** beith" of the critic's reading is not in the original. The 

 transcriber's ffh is correct, though the ff is smaller than usual. The 

 transcriber is wrong in giving a too decided lu, though the resem- 

 blance of the copy to the original is very close. It is to be noted that 

 the transcriber has given a plain warning to his readers that there is a 

 difficulty, for he has imitated the irregular formation of the first stroke 

 of the u, approximating it to the curve for b ; but he has given to the 

 fijst stroke of the ti a final dash which is not so decidedly given in 

 the manuscript. 



Of the two remaining corrections, which the critic had not verified, 

 the first (127 « 17) " comallastar," is not so in the MS., but plainly 

 " comallastas." 



The second (130 a 5), viz., ecitfor eoit, fairly gives the reading of 

 the MS. The right bend of the letter is certainly not continuous.
