discharges into this cove. The spelling awna, where the pronunciation would 

 he hetter conveyed to an English reader by owna, further bespeaks a writer 

 acquainted with Irish spelling. 



103. Uaic a' t)ibi|'5, Ooghadillis, "cove of the dilisc." The omission of 

 the final consonant in the 0. S. name may be accidental ; but on the Antrim 

 coast the edible seaweed is known in English as dullis and dulse. 



104. Uaic nA ntlAn, " cove of the lambs," west of An T)un. 



105. An T)un, Boon, "the fort," a fortified promontory. 



106. Uaic An T)thn, " cove of the fort," east of An Thin. 



106 A. Ooghaniska, Uaic" An thrje, "cove of the water," not on my list, 

 is evidently a genuine name, as the cove so marked on the O.S. map receives 

 a small stream from the land. 



106 B. Ooghnageeragh, Uaic nA jjCAonAC, "cove of the sheep," is not on 

 my list. 



107. An bneACAtt, " the mottled rock," is the name of a broad rocky 

 patch between the south road and the sea, beneath the name Craigmore on 

 O.S. map. 



108. Uon a' DneACAill, otherwise Uon a' Dnicill, Tonahrickill, "butt of 

 the b]\eACAll." The second form, corresponding with the O. S. version, is 

 certain to be the older. Indeed, bneACAtl may be a popular etymological 

 reconstruction of a name originally bniceAll. AijroeAU. points to a final 

 element -ell not -all. 



109. S5AITO05, " little waterfall," at east side of Uon a' bnicill. See 

 25, bun a' SgAjTOAin. 



110. tlAice beAj, " little cove," east of S5AIV065. 



111. Uai'c ha HIana (contracted for Uaic IThc 11a TTIaua), Ooghnamara 

 " Mac Namara's cove." See 36. 



112. Ca|1|iai5 ua 1T1a|ia (for CAjinAij "ttlic 11a ITIajaa), " Macnamara's 

 rock," a long reef stretching into the sea, south of Uai'c nA 1Da]\a. ITIac 

 nA THana is the popular variant of the surname ITIac Con HlA|iA > "son 

 of Cu-11lAnA." 



Ooghlannagh, printed on O. S. map under Ooghnamara in such a way as to 

 leave doubtful the particular cove designated, is not on my list. It seems to 

 represent Uaic 1/Actiac, placed by my guide much farther west, as shown 

 above (102). 



113. tlAice Ned, "Ned's cove," on west side of Caj^iaij nA TTlAnA. 



114. bun nA bAbAnn, "foot of the river," where the AbAinn tTlon 

 discharges into the sea. This and the newer form bun nA hAibne were 

 both used by my guide. 



115. Uaic An T/&1I, "cove of the fence," at bun nA bAbAnn. The O. S.
