On the death of the above-mentioned Sir Colman O'Loghlin, the second baronet, his brother Sir Bryan, of Australia, succeeded to the baronetcy; and was elected in 1877 an M.P. for the county Clare.—The Author.

Notes

[1] Lochlann: The Irish lochlon is the root of lochlonnach, which is the Irish for "a Dane: no doubt, because the Danes were powerful at sea.

[2] Burren: The root of this word is the Irish loireann, which here means "a rocky district;"same as that at Ballyvaughan, county Clare, where stands the ancient castle of O'Loghlin of Burren.
