the lists except the last. They all, so far as we can judge, resided at 

 Ballyhose {Baile'I E6ghv.sti),on Castlehume Lough, Lower Lough Erne. The 

 name of GiotJiruadli '0 Heoghiisa occurs, in various coiTupted forms, in all 

 four lists. Maoikachlainn'Og'O S€dgh,iiso.i& mentioned in 1592 and 1603. 

 The Eochaidh maeMaoUeachlainn, whose death is referred to, as well as that 

 of Tadhg Dall, in the poem Tdirnig eigsefhuinn Ghamdhical^ is, I conjecture, 

 none other than Eochaidh '0 Heoghusa,- in which ease the Maoileachlainn 

 'Og just referred to was prohably a younger brother of Eoehaidh's.^ 



Attention may also be called to " Matthew O Lonine, of the Aide," 

 pardoned in 1586, i.e. Matha '0 LvAnin, of Arda,* on the Erne, between 

 BeUeisle and Cleenish. This Matha, in 1571, wrote the Lish law tract in 

 the MS. Xero A. vii (O'Gr. Cat. 141, 146 ; and of. ih., 78, 79).

 Here we have Tadhg Mac Bruaidcadha, i.e. Tadhg mac Daire, who, as we 

 also know from another source, resided at Knockanalban {CnocanAlbaimigh), 

 in the par. of Kilmurry, in the west of Co. Clare.

 of same, . . . Susanna ny Da Duff, of Kilecrydane," 14 May, 1601 [no. 6515]. 

 This is almost certainly the well-known poet, Muiris {jnac Blidihhi JJhuibh} 

 2lac Gearnilt, together with his wife, brother, and sister. " Pallice " is 

 Pallis {an Pluiilis) to the west of XiHamey, near Beaufort Bridge. 

 Kilcredane is a few miles to the north, near the present railway station of 

 Ballybrack.

- £ocbaidh 'O Heoghnsa, it may not be amiss to add, appears to have died quite early 

 in the seventeenth century. O'Reilly, who makes him flourish as late as 163((, is 

 certainly wronj;. 



^ "Miler OHogasa," i.e. Maolmhuire 'O Heoghusa, pardoned in 1591 (supra), is not 

 to be confused with Meyler Hussey, of Mulhassey, Co. Meath, whose name occurs 

 frequently in the Fiants of Flizabeth between 1-559 and 1.5&0. The name of the latter 

 in Irish would be JLfaoiinAuire Husai. This caution may be necessary in view of 

 O'Grady's conjecture (Cat., p. 153; thatthe Meathman was of the family of O Heoghnsa.
