Abstract
THE first volume of this instructive guide to Church Stretton, which is now complete, was reviewed in our issue for October 11, 1900 (vol. lxii. p. 571), and, as pointed out on that occasion, the first instalment dealt with the geology, macro-lepidoptera, and the molluses, of the neighbourhood. As might be gathered from the titles of the sections into which the present two. volumes are divided, the completed account of Church Stretton contains all that a visitor or resident is likely to wrant to know. Moreover, as the volumes contain the results of local scientific research and observation by competent workers, they may be used with confidence as a guide to the natural history and archæology of the district.
