T:HUMORS OF LISTIVAIN, The 
B:JCIT.07a
C:arr/ABC BB
N:Note ten measures in each part. I couldn't locate a place
with this name anywhere in Ireland but I'm guessing it was
somewhere in or near the Squire's native county of Limerick (cf. 
Panteen in "Humors of Panteen" below).

T:PITHER IN ENOUGH
B:JCIT.01b
C:arr/ABC BB
N:Another incomprehensible "Gaelic" title! (Note that O'Neill 
- an Irish speaker, as noted above - includes this tune in his 
"Waifs & Strays" (#126) as "Put in Enough", which I guess makes 
more sense ...)

T:COSSEY'S JIG
B:JCIT.01a (with "Jigg")
C:arr/ABC BB
N:1:No repeats in source. 
N:2:This is also called "Copey's" and has similar names in 
other 19th Century collections (none of which attribute the
tune to Jackson). First part is a predecessor of today's "Maid 
in the Meadow".
