Remarks.—­In going over these various versions, the first and perhaps most striking thing that comes out is the substantial agreement of the variants in each language.  The English—­i.e., Scotch, variants go together; the Gaelic ones agree to differ from the English.  I can best display this important agreement and difference by the accompanying two tables, which give, in parallel columns, Miss Cox’s abstracts of her tabulations, in which each incident is shortly given in technical phraseology.  It is practically impossible to use the long tabulations for comparative purposes without some such shorthand.
