353.	The Black Horse	R. MacNeill	Minglay	Hector MacLean	A long story, part of the adventures of King under waves.
354.	The language of Birds	Janet Currie			South Uist . A long and curious story, unlike any yet got. Traced back to Clanranald's bard, MacMhurich.
355.	Siarlas òg Mac an ridir' aimbheartaich	Roderick MacNeill	Glenbarra		Romance with measured prose passages. Rich knight adopts poor nephew--aunt tempts him in vain--proves that his sweetheart is Princess of Eirinn. King of France jealous--contrives her destruction--murders cook and puts him in her room-she is to be torn by horses and burnt--hero pretends to stay at home--goes disguised--rescues her in three fights--is recognised and marries. Language very good, measured prose ditto.
356.	An Gobha	Ditto	Minglay		A widow's son learns to be a smith--joins a tailor and a cobbler--goes to Glasgow and London--they enlist and desert--adventure of the three conjurors--adventure of the six black princesses--smith wins the daughters of the kings of Greece and Egypt for his comrades, and the Princess of Spain for himself. Parts of this p. 424 resemble a bit of the history of Merlin--part of Sir Tristrem--several of the Norse tales and Nos. 4 and 10, Vol. I. It shows that the smith's art was honourable. It is a very good story, well told, and the narrator is uneducated.

373.	Declaration written by the reciter in Gaelic, and signed by him, to the effect that people do not believe that there were such heroes as the Feinne, but that people who could not read or write Gaelic or English could speak their history from Fionn to Connan. He declares to the scribe that he learned what he knows from his father, who know a great deal more, and who learned it from his father when he was a boy. The family have been noted for repeating such poetry for some generations.

381.	Duan Chollain	Alexander MacNeill	Barra	H. MacLean	Composed by the reciter's great grandfather to the young Hugh MacNeill in Barra, great-grandfather of Alexander MacRory the white, and son of the brother of MacNeill of Barra. These Christmas poems are commonly composed still. Poem 83.

385.	Ditto				The fool's haste.
386.	Ditto				A fool's strength.
387.	Fear na firinn "Take heed to thy sayings, and choose thy speech; truth is bitter when out of place."				Very original, sagacious, humorous.
388.	Fear a bhaile mhois 's na tri Suirichean.				A very sagacious farmer's story: the principle is that "prevention is better than cure," and that slow and sure win the race. A grey coated suitor wins.
389.	An tuathanach agus an gobha				"Like the needle that was put on the coulter"--very sagacious.

February 17, 1862.--The last nine stories are a voluntary contribution from John Dewar. They are of the same class as the ten which follow No. 316, and they resemble xvii. a in vol. i., xix. and xx. in vol. ii., and lxii. to lxvi. vol. iii. These are the popular equivalents of Æsop. Many of the old saws and allusions, founded on them, are still familiarly understood in the High lands. "Blackberries in February," or "He would not sell his hens in a rainy day," require no explanation in the Highlands. "Sour grapes," or the "Monkey and the Cats," or "King Log and King Stork," do not need to have their stories told in England, but they would convey no meaning to the untaught Highlander.
