   18 When the cattle and sheep are under a fence. When the spider leaves his web. When the seagulls are coming to land. When the midges are out. When the swallows fly low. When there is a fog in the moon. When there is a russet or dark colour on frogs. When the sun is waterish. When the walls get damp. When the ditches smell. Collector Bridie Jennings, Cappatagle, Ballinasloe. Got from Mr. Peter Egan, Cappatagle, Ballinasloe.
