• Edan or Odo O'Kelly, bishop of Clogher, 1139-1182? (“Oriel.") 4 M. 1182.

(a) Ware's list from Cencius Camerarius agrees nearly with this, [and that from Camden already given appears to be abridged from it.]

(b) This list is given to shew the strange forms which names may assume, when often transcribed by persons not acquainted with them. The same sees are repeated in it under names made different by readers and transcribers.

(c) Aladensis, the proper Latin, occurs in no list here.
(d) Kilmacow, Irish name for Kilmacduagh, already given.
(e) In Ware Cinani, fors pro Ciarani, seu K. of Clon.
(f) N.B.-Two sees here made of Iniscatty.

(g) Kilmore, anciently Brefniensis, and Triburnensis.

Our next catalogue of these old sees, forming the ninth in this collection, is one copied from a manuscript of Archbishop Ussher's, E. 3, 16, Trinity College Dublin, where it is distinguished by the following inscription, "Ad calcem practicæ Cancellariæ Apostolicæ, excus. Lugduni, A.D. 1549." It includes some of the usual blunders.

In the same MS. from which the preceding list is taken, there are given three other lists of the ancient sees of Ireland in the handwriting of Archbishop Ussher. The third which seemed to agree with Ware's, it was thought unnecessary to transcribe for the present article. The other two are those which here follow, and the prefatory note which accompanies them is from the same MS. and the same hand in which they are transcribed.
