This the Bollandists mention only at the same date, but refer to the preter-
mitted saints at the 28th of this month.
Article XXIV. —Riiputed Feast of St. Malchus, Bishop of Sodor, Scotland. In the Scottish Entries in the {Calendar of David Camerarius,

there is a feast for St. Malchus, Bishop of Sodor, in Scotia.
Quoting Camerarius, at the 30th of September, the Bollandists note Malchus, Bishop of Sodor, in Scotia; but not finding him elsewhere on the list of saints, they are not satisfied with the authority of Camerarius alone, unless, as they
observe, this name may be identical with that of St. Malchus, Bishop of Lismore, treated by them at the and of August.
Article XXV. —St. Victor of the I'hkban Legion, Martyr. In tiie Martyrology of Marianus O'Gorman, at the 301I1 of September, a festival
