A manuscript lettered 'Reliquiae Lhuydianae', being a composite volume partly in the hand of Edward Lhuyd (1660-1709). It contains accounts [1693] of 'L[l]yn yr Afangc' and 'Crigcaeth', published, with English translations by the Reverend Robert Williams, Rhydycroesau (who then owned the texts) respectively under the titles 'The Legend of Llyn yr Afangc' and 'Legends of Wales' in The Cambrian Journal (1859), pp. 142-150, 208-16, and reprinted respectively under the titles 'Chwedl Llyn yr Afangc' and 'Chwedl Crigcaeth ac eraill' in the Transactions of the Liverpool Welsh National Society, 1895-6, pp.99-105, 105-112; 'The names of Pools or Ponds in Merionethshire' and the names of pools in 'Angleyshire' [Anglesey] (Llyn Maen-meudwy, Llyn Coron) and Caernarfonshire (Llyn Drothwch) with a few notes relating thereto; notes on stones in Inisowen (Ynys Owen), co. Dunegall (Donegal); 'Responsa G. R. ad Quaestiones Dmi' E. Lh.' (an account of Snowdonia), 1693, and notes on urns and stones in Caernarvonshire and elsewhere, published in Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1860, pp. 237-40. An English translation of the account of Snowdonia has been published in Frank Emery, 'A new account of Snowdonia, 1693, written for Edward Lhuyd', The National Library of Wales Journal, XVIII, pp. 405-17, where it is suggested that 'G.
