In these five chapters, an attempt has been made
to assemble and examine the occurrence of birds in
'supernatural' contexts within the entire Celtic tradition,
and to estimate their relative and changing significance
within that tradition. It must be emphasised that no
clear -cut line of demarcation can be found between 'belief'
traits and 'wonder' traits, although an attempt has been
made wherever possible to give some indication of the
significance of any single piece of evidence. The work
has had of necessity to be compressed on account of the
overwhelming amount of material, and most of the major
sections are thus capable of expansion and development.
The introduction of wider comparative study could well be
beneficial at this stage.
