On Morrison's death, these MSS. passed into the possession of Captain Thomas, R.N., a careful and enthusiastic antiquary who, about 1880, contributed to the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland two lengthy papers based upon them. Later, they became the property of Sir Arthur Mitchell, another noted antiquary and archaeologist. On Mitchell's death they were sold to the firm from whom W. C. MacKenzie, mentioned so often in these pages, bought them. MacKenzie appropriately presented them to the public library in his native town of Stornoway, where they are accessible to anyone who may care to consult them.
