    Britanniae et Mater Drechura” [Dectir] “filia Muredacii Munderg Regis Ul- toniae, non potest esse frater S. PatriciiV* vi. Id. Maii (May io), p. 114, S. Comgallus, abbas et confessor. Comgall was Abbot of Bangor in the sixth century. His life is pub- lished by the Bollandists and by Fleming1. “ Eodem die Translatio S. Laurentii Dublinie Archiepiscopi.” See page xlvii. iii. Id. Maii (May 13). “ Eodem die Sancte Sithe virginis.” These words are added in the margin, in a hand of the sixteenth century. In the Calendar also, p. 65, her feast is added by a recent hand, “ Sithe virginis ix. lec:” and in the Calendar prefixed to the Chained Book of the Corporation of Dublin, the words “ Sancta Sitha virgo” occur at 3 Id. Maii, in a modern hand. In a manuscript Breviary of the fifteenth century, in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin111 (but in the original hand of the manuscript), we find her name somewhat differently spelt, “ Scite virginis, ix lc.” This Breviary was written in Ireland, as appears from an entry on the first leaf, and there is, therefore, k Trias Thaum. p. 8, n. 13. 1 See the Bollandists, tom. ii., Maii, p. 579 ; and Fleming, Collect.

Cuius anime propicietur deus, et quilibet legens pro sue anime salute dicat oraci- onem dominicam etc.” At the end of the IRISH ARCH. SOC. NO. 4. i Propr. de Sanctis is this note : “ Explicit Proprium officium de sanctis secundum usum fratrum carmelitarum.” Hence we may, perhaps, infer, that the writer was a Carmelite friar. His name was Maol-Isa O’Lachmayn, or, perhaps, O’Lactnayn. Tathen is evidently Thaddeus, or Tadhg, a common name among the O’Carrolls; and “ Laniensis dyosis,” is evidently for “ Laonensis dioceseos,” or Killaloe. The Annals of Ulster record the death of the O’Carroll, ui.e. John, son of Mailruanaigh O’Carroll, King of Ely,” in the year 1489; and it is probable that his death gave oc- casion to the contest for the chieftainship of the sept, between Teague and William
