A Slice of Welsh Wildlife

Despite Condry's title only a small proportion of this file actually relates to wildlife. The file includes a sketch map of mid-Wales and some details of birds, mammals, plants and insects, but the majority of the entries concern place names and items of historical and topographical interest, particularly churches, castles, standing stones and bridges, sometimes illustrated by sketches; other items include brief biographies of past naturalists, articles from newspapers and journals, bibliographic information and unidentified reference numbers (many marked in red ink), literary references, 1930-1998, and correspondence, including a postcard from Arthur [Chater], 1998, discussing narcissus species and a letter about the naturalist, J. H. Salter, from his grand-daughter, 1975.
