Contents :—Titlc-folio, reversc blank; text, pp. 3-192.—The author of thesc rí- mur, of whicli tliis seems to be the sole edition, was Snorri Björnsson [or Bjarnarson] rector of Ilúsafell (i Borgarfiröi), wlio died in 1796 aged 93. By Jón Borg- firöingur (p. 60) the autlior’s name is given as Snorri Bjarnarson,, but Sveinu Nielsson, in liis ‘ Presta Tal og Prófasta á Islandi’ (p. 88) prints it as on the title-page of the work liere cited, Snorri Björnsson. ltímur on the samc theme, and under the same title, were publislied by Haus Natanssou at Akureyri in 1883.

The list differs sliglitly from that of the pro- ductions of the Hrappsey press given in tlie ‘Æfi-Agrip Fedganna1 of Bogi Benediktsson (ViÖ. 1823).
