Should there be any other copy of any one of these tomes in the British
Museum, these questions will extend to that volume also.

ago I devoted some time to the subject. I am inclined to suspect that it
must have been found in some Irish manuscript which has been discovered,
since (in the year 1847) some bones of the fossil deer were found in a
