BUNTING'S NOTATION

This is my hand copy from microfilm of Bunting's notation of the Féachain Gléis in
pp 54 & 55 of MS29 of the Bunting collection held by Queen's University, Belfast.  It
seems to be his earliest attempt at notating the piece, but when compared with
Cumha Bharúin Loch Mór, the Féachain Gléis does not show the same amount of
haste in transcription: it seems tidier and almost every note has a tail.
