HILL, p. 50, Report of the Highland Society, p. 143, appendix, published in the Gentleman's Mag., afterwards in a separate book. Gives Fionn's Genealogy, and a great deal of speculation.

1. Mordubh                         Sentimental. Varying from
158. Miann a' bhaird aosdal.          popular ballads now current,
210. Mhaline Brughadar              but like "Ossian's poems."

Smith. "Seann Darla." These are of a class between current popular ballads and the published Ossian.
    1. Dan an Deirg.
   26. Tiomna Ghuill.

 * 99. Diarmad.
        This differs from the traditional, and from the manuscript versions.
  120. Dan clainne Mhuirne.
  141. Cath Luine.
  158. Cath ula.
* 194. Cath Mhanuis includes the lay of the great fool, but something quite different from the traditional poems; and the doctor says he has rejected much as spurious; a bit of the forging of Finn's sword is given in a note, 211.

  245. Conn Mae an Deirg.
