swearing his oath to Barahir Felagund 'went South'
(emended to 'South and West') and founded Nargothrond.
This would in fact point to the first site of Nargothrond on
the map; since the later site is due West from the fens.

Narog First occurs in the Lay of the Children of Hurin. The
course of the river was scarcely changed subsequently.

Realm of Narog beyond Narog This was hastily added to the
map in blue crayon, together with the broken line indicating
its boundaries. On the later map the 'Realm of Nargothrond
beyond the river' covers a much larger territory to the
North-east (see Guarded Plain).

Sirion See notes on the northern half.

Sirion flows underground See Umboth-muilin. Sirion's fall is
also referred to in the Lay of the Children of Hurin, lines
1467-8.

Umboth-muilin The name goes back to the Tale of the
Nauglafring (II. 225). It emerges from the Lay of Leithian
(lines 1722 if.) that the Twilight Meres were north of
Sirion's fall and passage underground, whereas in the tale of
The Fall of' Gondolin the reverse was the case (see II. 217,
HI. 222 - 3).

Waters of Sirion Cf. S $16 'The remnant reaches Sirion and
journeys to the land at its mouth - the Waters of Sirion',
and $l7 'He returned home and found the Waters of Sirion
desolate.'



Woodmen of Turambar The Woodmen were first placed a
long way away from their later location - south of Sirion's
passage underground and north of Nan Tathrin, with their
land (shown by a dotted line) extending on both sides of the
river. This position is quite at variance with what was said
in the Tale of Turambar (II. 91): 'that people had houses...
in lands that were not utterly far porn Sirion or the grassy
hills of that river*s middle course', which as I said (II. 141)
'may be taken to agree tolerably with the situation of the
Forest of Brethil'. The first placing of the name was struck
out, and the second agrees with Q ($13); 'their houses were
in the green woods about the River Taiglin that enters the
land of Doriath ere it joins with the great waters of Sirion.'
