L. I.

_Vikingr Skotar._--Mr. W. F. Skene, in his _Highlanders_, quotes _Ari

Froda_ or Arius Multiscius for the assertion, that the Hebrides were

occupied, on the departure of Harold Harfagr, "by Vikingr Skotar, a term

which is an exact translation of the appellation Gallgael" (vol. ii. p.

27.). That is true, on the assumption that _Vikingr_ is not Icelandic

for pirate, but only for Scandinavian pirate; which assumption I should

doubt.

But I wish to be informed in what edition of _Ari Froda_, and at what

page thereof, the words Vikingr Skotar may be found.
