Westkopp — Early Italian Maps of Ireland from 1300-1600. 411 



Head, but the name is unrecognizable, unless Ca-stronbere be Cahercorbere or 

 Caherearbery. The book not being in the public libraries of Dublin, and my 

 having had difficulty and delay in getting it, must excuse my having made 

 comparatively little use of it. 



I may here add an explanation, as an entire misapprehension appears 

 to have arisen (outside Ireland) as to my paper on " BrasU," that it, like 

 my present paper, is not an attempt at a wide treatment of the whole subject, 

 but an application of the broad results to Ireland. As in the first I did not 

 feel justified in bringing forward the vast mass of Asiatic and African myths 

 (of which I was fully aware), so here it is not the European history of trade 

 or the minute history of cartography' that is aimed at, but the connexion 

 between Irish and Italian commerce, and the source of the minute knowledge 

 of so remote an island shown in the Italian portolans.

* Probably this name Cligra is " the Cape Clear in the north of Ireland " so frequently mentioned 

 by the Spanish in the Armada records; it certainly lay north from Killybegs, as is shown in the 

 account of Alouzo de Leyva, Cal. Spanish Papers, 1558, p. 509, and is not Clare Island, as suggested 

 by Froude.
