  1. (continued from previous page)
    long ago and are still worm by a few old people here yet because they are considered to be very warm. They were never made here but were always bought in the shops. There is no account of leather being made in Curreeny.
    There were coverings for the shins made from the hides of cows, and worn like leggings tied with strings. They were used when feeding the cattle up the mountain or in snowy or very wet weather.
    There are no sayings or proverbs about the above.
