Here, probably, three leaves are lost.

It will be seen that the Oxford Dinnshenchas does not contain the last twenty-two of these articles, and the primary object of this paper is to print the twenty-two faithfully, with literal translations and such notes as seem likely to elucidate what often, in spite of all my efforts, remains obscure. I have added, by way of supplement, three other articles found in Egerton 1781, a vellum in the British Museum, and hitherto, so far as I know, unpublished. The articles now printed are numbered consecutively, in continuation of the fifty-two already published in this Journal. Those most likely to interest folklorists are Nos. 55, 61, 64, 67, 69, 70, 73. In the notes, "BB." means the Book of Ballymote ; "H." the Dublin vellum H. 3.- 3 ; "Lee." the Book of Lecan ; "LL." the Book of Leinster ; and "R." the Irish MS. at Rennes.
