the Four Masters_, I beg to inform your correspondent, "A HAPLESS
HUNTER" (No. 6, p. 92.), that the copy which I possess begins with the
year 1172; consequently, it is hopeless to refer to the years 1135 and
1169. In 1173 the death of Mulmurry Mac-Murrough is recorded; as also of
Dermot O'Kaelly, from whom the family name of Kelly is derived; but I do
not find any notice of the daughter of Dermot MacMurrough.

If some earlier note-taker has not anticipated me, please to inform your
correspondent from Malvern Wells that the published portion of the
_Annals of the Four Masters_, by O'Donovan, commences with the year
1172. The earlier portion of the _Annals_ is in the press, and will
shortly appear. When it sees the light, your querist will, it is to be
hoped, find an answer. A query, addressed personally, to Mr. O'Donavan,
Queen's College, Galway, would, no doubt, meet with a ready reply from
that learned and obliging Irish scholar and historian.

Dermot McMorrough; the first, her witnessing a grant made by Richard
