The favourable reception which was accorded to the paperentitled "The Spanish Armada in Ulster and Connacht,"which appeared in Vol. I., Part III., April, 1895, of TheUlster Journal of Archæology, and the continued interest inthe subject, which seems rather to increase as the literaturebecomes more extensive, has induced me to re-write thepaper, and add much information I was not possessed ofwhen the first paper was printed. Mr. Crawford's mostvaluable contribution, which forms the second part of thisbook, should at least justify the present publication. ToFrancis Joseph Bigger, M.R.I.A., my best thanks are duefor the use of copious notes and references, which have beenof material assistance.
