$bably was shortly before that year. The occurrence of R. Olof’s name in this con- nexion harmonizes with our conjecture of the date of his mayoralty in the note to No. xxxiv. Page 47, line 9. Meylerus de Cursun.—The following descent of the family of De Cursun, corruptly called De Courcy, is taken from the Clarendon MSS., vol. xxxvi., fol. 107, British Museum: I ! ~ ' Vivianus de Curcy cui Albericus de Curcy frater et heres ejus, et heredibus concessit j Com.

HI., this grant must have been made before 1244, which would agree with the date, 1238, given in Mon. Hib., p. 157, as the year of Pollard’s mayoralty. It is to be observed that the mayor wit- nesses before the dean of St. Patrick’s. Page 50, line 14. Carta Dermicii.—The authority of Dermod M‘Morough, king of Leinster, within the city of Dublin, seems to have been uncertain and fluctuating. In this charter he distinguishes the men of Dublin—a body of commercial foreigners, struggling for in- dependence—from the men of Leinster, his native and hereditary subjects. Page 50, line 17. Edano.—Lugwdensi, or Lugudensi, as printed by Dugdale, Mon. Anglic., from Sir J. Ware’s transcript, has been always taken to mean Bishop of Louth or Clogher, a see at this time filled by Edan O’Kelley, who had been appointed to it in the room of Christian, Malachy’s brother, by Malachy himself, because he saw in a vision the episcopal gold ring upon Edan’s finger. (Cambrensis Eversus, p. 168.) It is not plain, however, that Dermod, king of Leinster, had any connexion with Louth, and it is also difficult to assign a reason for his placing the Bishop of Clogher in Dublin. It would be easy to read Lug., the contraction for this bishop’s title, in Alan’s Registry •—See Appendix, No. xiv for Lag., the contraction for Laginiensium Episcopus, a title$
