178 THIRD CENSUS OF FINNEGANS WAKE which Joyce used in FIN I,iv. 87.12 (see O'Donnell). MacDonnell, Sorley Boy—see Sonley. MacDougal (sometimes MacDougall, Macdougal), Johnny—the 4th of the Four (q.v.) Elders (q.v.). As Evangelist (q.v.), he is St John, whose heraldic beast is the eagle. I cannot account for the name MacDougal—it is sometimes said to be Scottish. He is the province of Connaught, places in Conmaught; west and the west wind; the element water; the iron age; Joyce's 4th age—rebirth. In the geographical anatomy of Paracelsus (q.v.), he is the human bottom— hence waste-west land. He is a little separate from the other old men, and has a wilder and more distinct personality than they. His eternal claim of success in love may tie him to Don Juan (q.v.). Because his name is John, it is perhaps Shaun (q.v.) in old age, and at 475.29—30 he is called Shunny. If he melts into Shaun or is reborn, it is at the bottom of p.399. I have found no place where Shaun is called "Johnny." J. Macdougal leads the ass (q.v.), who is Shem (q.v.), and this suggests that Johnny and the ass may be the twins (q.v.)—the one disguised in age, the other as abeast. 184.35 (Aguilar); 210.13 (see Walker); 214.36; +290.9 (see McAdoo); 368.33—34; +377.32 (see Justinian); 384.14; 386.6,12; 387.15; 389.17—18; 391.4,5; 395.3; 397.2; 398.2 (Podex); +399.36—with James and John, John-a-Dreams (q.q.v.); 405.5—6; 475.29—30; 476.27—28; +482.9,11,14— with Milton (q.v.; whose father's shop was at the sign of the Spread Eagle,.l5; see also Don Juan, Don Quixote, Schott); 521.10; 526.18; +533.21—with Bach (q.v.); 573.28; 590.23. MacDowell, Gerty—Nausicaa (q.v.) in Ulysses. I am not sure any of the following refer to her. 144.27; 211.1; +287.19—with Gertrude, Gertrude Stein (q.q.v.); 349.21; +618.3—with Gretel (see Hansel). Macduff—Thame of Fife inMacbeth (q.v.). +77.14—with Hamlet (q.v.); 250.34; 302.n. 1; 411.11; +469.20,21—with McAdam (q.v.). *MacDyke, Dirty—in context, the Dick of Tom Dick Harry (q.v.). 8.27. *MacElligut, Mn, 365.26. *McJ~dicoth, 277.n. 4 (see Roe). *MacFarlane, 180.10. *MacFarlane, poor Piccolina Petite—may connect with Santime's novel Picciola (1836) in which a prisoner saves his reason by tending a poor little flower that turns into a beautiful dream girl. 210.10. MacFarlane's Lament—air to T. Moore's (q.v.) "Shall the Harp Then Be Silent." 100.3. *MacFearsome, Shrove Sundy—Macpherson (q.v.)? 227.3 1—32. *MacFewney, MacGarath O'Cullagh O'Muink—Magrath (q.v.). 622 .4-5. *Mac Gale, Gush, 87.17. *MacGarry, Moth, 526.23—24. *Mac Garvey—Thom's, 1907, lists a plumber of this name, or maybe Cathal McGanvey's tobacco shop where nationalists met in Dublin. 176.18. McGee, Thomas D'Arcy(1825—68)—a poet of the Nation. 231.14 (horsery megee). *MacGhimley_Luke Tarpey (q.v.) as the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet, gimel. President McKinley? 290.7. *M'Gillicuddy Reeks—the highest mountain range in Ireland, in Kerry, near Killarney. Joyce uses it as a personal name—Letters, I, 389—and maybe it is. 92.26; 518.9. McGinty—"Down Went." 366.32. *MacGi~lly, Jolly—maybe Johnny MacDougal (q.v.). 395.3. *McGree, Graw—Magrath (q.v.). 488.36. *MacGregor, Fat her—M att Gregory (q.v.)? 520.4,10.

Mach, Ernst (1838—1916)—Austrian physicist, mathematician, psychologist, who concluded all existence is sensation. 150.11. Mac Hamiltan, Hannibal—see Hannibal, Hamilton. 274.9. MacHammud—Mohammed (q.v.). 156. 22. Machiavelli, Niccolè (1469—1527)—
