The
Martyrology
of x Tallagh
enters the name of Lugidius, son of Lugeus, as having veneration paid him,
at the 1st of July. Thus was he distinguished, at an early period of our
ecclesiastical history, among his contemporaries. Marianus O'Gorman has a similar notice in his Martyrology, at this day. Cathal Maguire agrees in the paternity, and he adds, that the present holy man was Bishop of Cluain- camaint. It is now difficult to this ancient
identify
who notice Lugidius films Lugei at the 1st of July, state, that Cluain-camaint
was unknown to them, but they suggest, that a Cluaid-camhain is mentioned in the Annals of Donegal, at the year 1089. Where they obtained such infor- mation is not apparent to us. 3 Lughaidh, son of Lughaidh, is the entry of the O'Clerys, in the Martyrology of Donegal/ at this date.

No less than eighteen, bearing the same name, are to be found in theMartyrologyofDonegal/ TherearesomepropheticalPoems5 extant, and ascribed to Ultan, of Leitrim. Whether he was identical with this or any other saint bearing the name—for many Ultans are in our Calendars— cannot be determined. In the of 6 at this we
