TO BOTANISTS AND GEOLOGISTS, 



Wynnstay Hotel and Posting House 



(LOOSE BOXES FOR HUNTERS), 



OSWESTRY. 



I beg to draw the attention of naturalists to the very fine and interesting- 

 Geological and Botanical features of the district in the immediate neighbour- 

 hood of Oswestry, 



To the Botanist, as well as the Geologist, this neighbourhood is of peculiar 

 interest. Since the richness and variety of the Botanical productions of any 

 district will always be found to depend upon its Geological character — and few 

 localities can compare with Oswestry and its surroundings in that respect — the 

 rare Plants to be found in the immediate neighbourhood are so numerous and 

 varied, that it would take many pages to mention the names of even the rarest 

 of them. 



Last year we had a large party of Geologists from London staying here during 

 the August Bank Holiday, and another party from Liverpool and Yorkshire during 

 the Easter Holidays, both of which were very/much pleased with their visit. 



Extract from letters from the Hon. Sees, of the London and Liverpool 

 Geological Societies :— 



" I can state that the members of our party were fully satisified with the accommodation 

 the Wynnstay, and were in every way pleased with the arrangements made for their comfort." 



— Hon. Sec. London Society. 



" It was unanimously expressed by all the members who were present at our meeting last 

 Easter, that the Wynnstay Hotel was one of the most comfortable they had experienced. Though 

 dealing with a large party, arrangements were so admirable that there was not the slightest hitch 

 in any department." —Hon. Sec. Liverpool Society.
