Scope and content
The file consists of a card index compiled following Condry's visits to Africa in 1963-4, 1967 and 1971, which included visits to Rukwa and Arusha. The entries for African birds include lists of birds spotted, individual descriptions of the birds, many with fuller notes on distribution and habits, and details of when and where seen, references to relevant literature, notes of photographs taken and occasional printed articles. A small section of the index comprises a bibliography, and the remainder covers climate, geology, history, land use, natural history and literary references, and includes occasional sketches, press cuttings and correspondence, 1966-1967, relating to reference sources, botany, slides and photographs.
