# Euura mucronata

Euura mucronata is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae (common sawflies). The larva feed within galls on the buds of willows (Salix species). It was first described by Theodor Hartig in 1837.

## Description

The bud of the host species is about twice the normal size and pear-shape. The greenish larva feeds within the gall which also contains frass and the bud falls to the ground in the autumn where the larva pupates. Several buds on the same shoot can be galled and the insect has a single generation per year (i.e. univoltine). Most species of Euura are monophagous on Salix species but there is some discussion on whether Euura mucronata is a group of closely related species, each feeding on different Salix species, or whether it is polyphagous feeding on over thirty species of willow.

## Distribution

Euura mucronata is found in Europe from Ireland, east to Ukraine and from Norway, south to Portugal.
# Fragmentary Annals of Ireland

The Fragmentary Annals of Ireland or Three Fragments are a Middle Irish combination of chronicles from various Irish annals and narrative history. They were compiled in the kingdom of Osraige, probably in the lifetime of Donnchad mac Gilla Pátraic (died 1039), king of Osraige and king of Leinster. A major narrative within the text is the so-called "Osraige Chronicle" (as proposed by Radner) which greatly focuses on the exploits of the ninth century king of Osraige, Cerball mac Dúnlainge, who was the paternal ancestor of the medieval Mac Giolla Phádraig family.
The Fragmentary Annals were copied in 1643 for the Rev. John Lynch by Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh from a lost 15th-century vellum manuscript, which belonged to Giolla na Naomh Mac Aodhagáin (Nehemias MacEgan). Mac Aodhagáin, who died around 1443, was a professor of Irish Brehon Law in Ormond. The sole surviving manuscript of the Fragmentary Annals, which is currently held by the Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels, is not in Mac Fhirbhisigh's hand, but in that of an anonymous scribe, who made a fair copy of Mac Fhirbhisigh's text, adding some marginal comments of his own and an index. The manuscript (MS. 7, c. n. 17) is incomplete and includes five fragments of annals beginning in 573 and ending in 914. What has survived joins the synopsis of the hypothetical Chronicle of Ireland.
Little is known of the lost exemplar from which Mac Fhirbhisigh worked. He appears to have modernized the orthography of the original text as he copied it. There are lacunae in places where the exemplar could no longer be read due to its poor condition. Mac Fhirbhisigh's copyist added dates, which he took from the Annals of the Four Masters without troubling to confirm their accuracy or correct them where they were clearly in error.
The first fragment relates mainly to the Northern Uí Néill and may have been compiled in Ulster, but the remaining fragments were evidently compiled in Osraige (Ossory), a kingdom which corresponded approximately to the later County Kilkenny and western County Laois. The original compiler evidently drew upon a variety of sources, some of which (e.g. annals) were probably more accurate and trustworthy than others (e.g. long bardic works). The fragments combine cold annalistic records with romantic tales and extravagant flights of fancy in a manner that is unique among the Irish annals.
Two modern editions of the Fragmentary Annals have been published:
* John O'Donovan (editor & translator) Annals of Ireland: three fragments. (Dublin 1860)
* Joan N. Radner (editor & translator) Fragmentary annals of Ireland (Dublin 1978)
# Tommy Black (footballer, born 1908)

Thomas Black (1 December 1908 – after 1940) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left half in the Football League for Plymouth Argyle and Southend United. He also appeared for Arsenal in the FA Cup.

## Life and career

Black was born in Holytown. He began his career as an amateur with Strathclyde before joining Football League club Arsenal in 1931. Having spent two seasons playing for the club's reserves, Black was called up to the first team by Herbert Chapman for an FA Cup third round match at Walsall in January 1933. The home side won 2–0, with the second goal coming from a penalty that was given for a foul by Black. He was transfer-listed by Chapman and sold to Second Division club Plymouth Argyle within a week of the defeat. Black made nine appearances in his first two seasons with the club before establishing himself as their first-choice left half during the 1934–35 campaign.
Argyle finished fifth in the league in the 1936–37 season, and Black played in 41 games, which was a career best. After seven seasons with the club and 168 appearances in all competitions, Black moved to Third Division South team Southend United. He played in the first three league games of the 1939–40 campaign before it was abandoned due to the Second World War. He then left Southend United for Third Lanark FC in December 1939. He played three matches for Third Lanark in the Emergency League West, then played for them in the Southern League until 1942.
