Notes and Queries. LOST WELSH BOOKS. Welsh readers occasionally meet with references, more or less direct, to printed books that are at present un- known or have not been clearly identified. If contribu- tors to this column will name any such that they have reason to suppose have gone astray, a list may be drawn up that would lead to a more diligent search for the lost ones. With that object in view, here follow descriptions of two that are unknown to the writer. QUERIES. Query I.-SHON THOMAS MORRIS, OF LLANWYDDVN.
