BIRDS OF BRECONSHIRE 
EK. rE PHILLIPS, 
RECONSHIRE is not a large county, 
and is so well known that it needs 
but a slight description. It embraces 
among its general features, in a marked 
degree, mountain and moor, valley and 
hill; it has one large lake, Llangorse, 
with numerous mountain tarns, and is 
drained by the Usk and partly by the 
Wye and their tributaries. Yet with all 
these advantages of Nature the Ornith- 
ology of the county is not so varied
