EXPLANATION OF PLATES XXII., XXIII., XXIV.

(The Photographs were taken by Prof. Haddon.)

PLATE XXII.

FIGS. 1, 2.-COLMAN FAHERTY, THOMAS, aged about sixty years, Oghil. MICHAEL O'DONNELL, JOHN, No. 25, Oghil.

When there is more than one man of the same name in the Aran Islands, the individuals are distinguished by the addition of their father's christian name, as in the foregoing cases. Faherty, who is a thirteenth child, is a very typical Aranite. O'Donnel's ancestor came from Ulster. They are standing in front of St. Sournick's thorn.

FIGS. 3, 4.-MICHAEL MULLIN, No. 27, Kilronan. A typical Aranite.

PLATE XXIII.

5.-MICHAEL CONNELLY, No. 10, Inishmaan.

A burly man, with the largest head measured in the Middle Island.

6.-A characteristic group of the young men of Aranmore. 7.-MICHAEL FAHERTY, and two women, Inishmaan.

Faherty refused to be measured, and the women would not even tell us their names.

PLATE XXIV.

FIGS. 8, 9.-MICHAEL DIRRANE, No. 1; ROGER DIRRANE, No. 2; ANTHONY DIRRANE, No. 3: all from Oghil.

Michael and Roger are brothers, and are by no means typical Aranites. There is an acknowledged foreign strain (? French) in their blood. Their relative Anthony is, on the other hand, quite typical.
