This Survey consists of 49 Manuscript beaks which were discovered by Pather Wa1"er Hegarty in the vaults of the court House, Lifiord, some years ago. This survey \vas apparently made for valuation pm·poses and contains the names of all persons resident in houses over £4 valuation. Each book covers a parish or part of a parish, and contains a very minute assessment of the nature of the soil in every fa:rm throughout the county. It would appear that these are the Field ·Books from which Griffith Valuation of the County was made some years later. This work gives the name of every tenant and householder in County Donegal in the years follow;ing the Great Famine. It was printed and published, and copies are often to be found in Solicitors' Offices throughout the County. By using this work in conjunction with the Maq:is in the General Valuation Office, Dublin, it is possible to ascertain the exact location of any household in the years 1850 to 1860. These Surveys were ma.de by parish assessors when the Tithe was c<lmmuted into a rent charge. It gives the names of every farmer and occupier of houses or land in each parish throughout the county.
