As it would be very desirable to make the list as complete a one as possible, criticism and corrections are invited. There are many old Manxmen with whom not a few of these names will be familiar, and there are many points which may require clearing up, so I shall esteem it a pleasure to have the list freely criticised. In some cases, two or more Manx names appear for one fish, in others it is hard to determine their English equivalent, while a great many seem to have no Manx name. Some of these are merely translations of their English equivalents, which I have taken the liberty to make. No doubt, not a few of these have Manx names, so I hope that Manx fishermen will peruse the list, and send in any additions or corrections. A list of animals, birds, insects, etc., will follow in due course. J. J.

W. Wood writes: “I resolved if possible to see the old bard for myself, so accompanied by a ‘Mannmagh dooie,’ who had met him and knew something of the eerie district in which he lived, we, i.e., my wife and I, set out to discover him. After traversing some miles of a steep and rugged mountain road we were directed to the house we sought. It was not, however Carn y Greie. The bard had moved to another abode near by. We were admitted by his wife, now, as she proved to be, his widow, for she told us the object of our search was no more. He had been dead several years. She was pleased to see us, and seemed gratified at our desire to see him. She willingly sought out the old bard’s books and papers to show us and amongst them was his old MS. book of “Manx hymns or songs for the use of temperance meetings, and several pieces of poetry suitable on other occasions. Partly composed originally in Manx and partly translated from the English language, by John Quirk, parish of Patrick.” Such is the title it bears on the cover. It had been kept in a damp place, and but for our timely rescue would soon have been illegible, or, indeed, have perished altogether. After drying it before the fire she generously offered it for my acceptance, of which offer, needless to say, I glady availed myself. The book is now well cared for, and I have had all the pieces it contains carefully copied out. These number 69. Of the original compositions, a few have already been published, the best known of them being perhaps “Yn Jeirkagh meshtyllagh” (“The drunken beggar”). The others are Manx translations of English and American hymns. I have sought for some time to discover the originals of these, because no versified translation that could be made into English could be so satisfactory, and I wished to print them in both Manx and English. I have now succeeded in finding the source of a few in a little hymn book kindly lent me by Dr Julian, author of the “Dictionary of Hymnology.” With the editor’s concurrence I purpose sending these for publication, when perhaps some of your Manx linguists will express their opinion upon the merits of the old bard’s translations. To me the rhythm seems particularly pleasing and faithful to the original version. ... After this brief digression I now give the first of the “Temperance Hymns” to be followed by others as opportunity offers for their insertion in the “Examiner.” G. W.
