    Barber & Gallon, 2020

    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 32 (2020) Upland centipedes in North Wales with a review of the Welsh Chilopoda Anthony D. Barber1 and Richard Gallon2 1 7 Greenfield Drive, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0UG. Email: [email protected] 2 23a Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, North Wales, LL30 1UP. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since Eason’s (1957) paper on centipedes from Carnarvonshire there has been an accumulation of centipede records from various parts of Wales but relatively few are from upland areas. Recent records from Snowdonia included several species, including Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes, from locations up to around 1,000m. We present a review of centipedes recorded from the 13 Welsh vice-counties which includes 41 species, 4 of which are from buildings or heated greenhouses, 4 apparently obligate halophiles from coastal sites and one doubtful. Wales has a variety of types of habitat including both lowland and montane rural areas and urban/industrial/post-industrial locations which no doubt contributes to the diversity of its chilopod fauna. Introduction The centipede Lithobius curtipes is not known in Britain from large numbers of past records, indeed in his Cotteswold paper of 1953, E.H. Eason (Eason, 1953) had referred to his record from Kildanes Scrubs, Gloucestershire in 1952 as only the third British record. The finding of it by RG at around 1,000m in Snowdonia, along with Lithobius variegatus and Strigamia acuminata at similar heights, prompted us to look at the occurrence of upland centipedes in North Wales and in Wales in general and to review the species recorded from the principality.

The Igneous Complex of Y Foel Fras, Caernarvonshire. By NORMAN L. SILVESTER, B.SC, F.R.Met.Soc. rFHE area under consideration is a portion of the mountain massif -*- bounded on the east by the Conway River, on the north by the narrow coastal plain between Conway and Bangor, and on the west and south by the popular tourist route through Nant.-Francon pass by Llyn Ogwen and down the Afon Llugwy to Bettws y coed. Y Foel Frus, Caernarvonshire. 135 The investigation includes the horseshoe-shaped ring of mountains, of which the highest is Y Foel Fras (3,091 feet), surrounding the upper course of the Aber River (Cwm yr Afon Goch). To the north-west this igneous complex is bounded by the precipitatious crags over which the above stream descends by leaps and bounds, forming the well-known Aber Falls. Upon Sheet 78, south-east of the old Geological Survey map the area is coloured as " Massive intrusive felspathic rocks ", surrounding two oval patches indicated as " Greenstones ", whilst a further elongated patch of the latter forms the south-west boundary.

He has already been told of the outburst of the Glasfryn Lake and Ffynnon Gywer, of Llyn Llech Owen and the Crymlyn, also of the drowning of Cantre’r Gwaelod; not to mention that one of my informants had something to say of the sub- mergence of Caer Arianrhod, a rock now visible only at low water between Celynnog Fawr and Dinas Dintte, on the coast of Arfon.

This catalogue now con- tains descriptions of over 100,000 slides and is supposed to be about one of the most comprehensive yet issued. We have made one price for photographic slides right throughout. It is always possible if customers want slides specially well coloured, to fedo them up to any price, but the quality mentioned in this catalogue is quite equal to those supplied by other houses in the trade. It must always be borne in mind that there are lantern slides and lantern slides, and that there are a few people not very well known in the trade, who issue a list of very low priced slides indeed, many of which are simply slides which would not be sold by any Optician with an established reputation.

    Great Country Walks: Take the North Wales Path to Aber Falls, Gwynedd

    Aber Falls Great country walks: take the North Wales Path to Aber Falls, Gwynedd Explore the famed North Wales Path, from lowlands to summit, and marvel at the majestic Aber Falls. The magnificent Aber Falls near the village of Abergwyngregyn in Gwynedd Difficulty Challenging Distance 6.7 miles/11 km Typical duration 4 hours 10 minutes Start and finish Abergwyngregyn bus stop and car park Map OS Explorer OL17 Step-by-step details and maps ramblers.org.uk/moel In a nutshell From the quiet village of Abergwyngregyn on the north Wales coast, this walk takes you along part of the long- distance North Wales Path, which runs from Bangor to Prestatyn, through fields to Moel Wnion, a hill sitting within the northern Carneddau range. You’ll climb to the summit to enjoy sweeping views before heading down the other side, walking past streams and gulleys. The pinnacle of the walk is Aber Falls, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Wales. After admiring the dramatic setting, you’ll return to Abergwyngregyn through a pretty national nature reserve. Why it’s special The highlight may be Aber Falls, but there’s much more to enjoy too, including a magnificent viewpoint on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and plenty of wildlife spotting. Following the grassy track of the North Wales Path you’ll pass a cluster of old tree stumps where a plantation once stood (it may still be shown on your map). From here you begin the climb to the summit of Moel Wnion, which, at 1,900 ft requires a bit of leg-work, but is worth it for the views once you reach the top.
