Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, 1899 The interest in Ogamic literature is well sustained by the valuable Paper of Professor Rhys, giving the results of a careful examination and reading of the stones forming the Drumloghan Cave. Mr. Macalister also contributes Notes on the disputed point of there being a Cryptic element in these inscriptions. Of early ecclesiastical foundations, the short Paper on Kilmakilloge, Co. Kerry, by Miss Hickson, and the exhaustive notice of the Termon of Durrow, by the Rev. De Courcy Williams, show much careful study. Mr. Drew's Note on the Surroundings of St. Patrick de Insula, and the account of Grey Abbey, Co. Down, by Mr. Phillips, deal with later periods of the subject. The Round Towers of Armoy and Drumbo are described and illustrated, and the first part of a valuable Paper, by Dr. Macnamara, on the Cross of Dysert O'Dea has been published. Lord Walter Fitz Gerald gives an interesting account of a small Holed Cross at Moone, abounding in symbols of a possibly pre-Christian period. In Folklore the notes from the Rennes copy of the Dindsenchas will be found of interest to the students of this subject; and Mr. Ball's Papers on the Residents of Monkstown, as well as the two short Papers by the late Rev. Dr. Stokes on "Swiftiana" and Moira House, afford interesting studies of social life in recent times. In Ecclesiology Mr. Buckley contributes some notes of much interest, and Mr. Robertson describes the Archer Chalice.
