POWYS-LAND CLUB. MONTGOMERYSHIRE COLLECTIONS. THE POWYS-LAND CLUB was established in 1867, for the collecting and printing (for the use of its members). of the Historical, Ecclesiastical, Genealogical, Topographical and Literary Remains of Montgomeryshire." And during the thirty-four years of its existence it has issued thirty-two annual volumes of the Collections, one extra volume of Mont- gomeryshire Pedigrees by L. Dwnn, and 432 pages of Mont- gomeryshire Records, now in Progress. Besides a rare collec- tion of Parochial Histories, twenty-five in number, the volumes abound in articles on the Botany, Geology, Physio- graphy, and Natural History of the County; so that while providing those who are most interested in their own neigh- bourhood with the story of its ancient and modern life, his- torical, social and physical, they supply the more general student with abundant material for study and comparison. The wealth of this material will be realised better if we enumerate more in detail the extent and variety of its character. Thus we have Articles on the- Abbies of Strata Marcella, Strata Florida, Cwmhir, Cridia and Valle Crucis, and the Nunnery of Llanllugan.
