the form of a hollowed circle. The reading of the curious name Ingane is 

 certain, though the A is broken. 



(54). G 33. Plate XXII, fig. 5 ; BW, plate 2, fig. V. Slab, 5 feet 5 inches 

 by 1 foot 8 inches, with a Latin cross hollowed at the angles ; the bottom of 

 the cross is open, and the lower ends bent outwards at right angles, and 

 prolonged to meet the sides of the slab. 



(55). Ct 36. Plate XXII, fig. 6 ; BW, plate 2, fig. X. Slab, 4 feet 2 inches 

 by 1 feet 6 inches, bearing a cross similar to the last. 



(56). G 20. Plate XXII, fig. 9. Slab, 4 feet 10 inches by 1 foot 5 inches, 

 with a cross similar to the last, but having the ends open, and drawn with 

 double lines throughout. 



(57). G 12. Plate XX, fig. 7; BW, plate 2, fig. H. Slab, 4 feet 2 inches 

 by 1 foot 6 inches, bearinga cross similar to the last, but with the base line 

 carried up to make a panel enclosing the whole design. The cross is in slight 

 i-elief. 



(58). G 32. Plate XXII, fig. 1 ; BW, plate 2, fig. U. Slab, 4 feet 9 inches 

 by 1 foot 4 inches, bearing a Latin cross with hollowed angles and expanding 

 square base, open below. The inscription is at the head of the slab, inverted 

 with respect to the cross; it reads Oil "OO gltlu CuT epiSCO. I can 

 find no trace of a bishop Gilla-Christ. 



(59). G 30. Plate XXII, fig. 2 ; BW, plate 2, fig. S. Slab, 4 feet 6 inches 

 by 1 feet 11 inches, bearing a cross similar to the last, on a rectangular 

 expanding base, closed below. Inscription at the head of the cross, in\erted. 

 It is imperfect, as the upper dexter corner of the slab is broken away and 

 lost; what is left is OU "OO 111 AeL . . . 



(60). G14. Plate XXII, fig. 3 ; BW, plate 2, fig. K. Slab, 4 feet 2i inches 

 by 1 foot 8 inches. Cross similar to that on ISTo 56, but with the top line of 

 the base carried across the lower end of the stem. Inscription on stem of 

 cross reading downward. It is carelessly cut, and the letters are injured by 



flaking ; but the reading may be taken as certain — OK "OOTn 11 aLL SACAIIC, 

 " A prayer for Domnall the Priest ". Evidently the engraver was confused by 

 the initial letters of the name being the same as those of the essential preposi- 

 tion do, and so omitted the latter ; when he discovered his mistake, he was 

 obliged to insert the word awkwardly above the line in small letters. 1 know 

 of no other ancient Irish inscription commemorating a Priest as such. The 

 cross is cut with broad, bold lines.
