NOTE.

Some slight differences of spelling which occurred in these stories have either been made uniform, or the variants have been given in the Vocabulary.

Stories Nos. 7, 8, and 9 are taken from Guaire, Canon O'Leary's modernization of the old tale, Imtheacht na Trom-dháimhe, edited by Conall Cearnaċ, whose valuable notes have been reproduced, with a few small additions.
