JOURNAL OF THE COUNTY DONEGAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 41 I understand the first step is to oompile or prepare a schedule of the monuments in the county, and in this part of the work I have been asked to assist. I append a list Olf monuments divided into 1. "Prehistoric," A and B; and II. "H\Storic," A and B. This list is compHed almost entirely from memory, !l,lld can be increased very much by reference to such works as the late Dr. Ma.guire's "History of the Diocese ot Riaphoe;" MacDevitt's "Donegai: Highlands;" Harkin's "Norti).-West Donega.J;" stephens' "SIG>uth-Wes:tern Donegal" DOhel.1ty's "Inishowen and Tircona.Ul"' and other works dealing with tlhe county, as well as the journal of the Society Olf Antiquaries. However, I have not at present leisure to search through these works, and I give the following list merely a.g a contribution to the proposed! schedule. ·"'·' Dooega,J Abbey and DOnegai: Castle have been recently attended to, I :nave omitted them. As regards preservation, it is only those in tlhe II. OJ.ass, i.e., those of the Hist:oric period, that require attention in this way. But of the others, I would respectfully suggest to the committee tha.t something ·should be done. as manv of them st.a.nd in great danger of being wiped away by the farmer or road contracto.r; and it would add greatly to thei.r chances of survival if a metallic la.be! with the words "National Monument" were affixed to each of them, or set upside down.
