g Fergus and King Iubdan. 8. Chase of the Gilla Dacar. 9. Oisin in the land of youth. _Sources for the story teller:_ Curtin, Jeremiah. Hero tales of Ireland. For the most part disconnected stories of adventure, which, though full of interest, lack the peculiar Celtic flavor. Contains: Chase of the Gilla Dacar. Gregory, Augusta, _lady_.

An abridged and adapted version of the Cuchulain legend that retains much of the heroic spirit. Requires little preparation from the story teller. Contains: Cuchulain's youth, Strife for the dun cow, Cuchulain's death, Fate of the sons of Usna. Joyce, P.W. Old Celtic romances.
