List of Plates, p. 335 notes:
“Plate V. - Fragment of the Shrew Ash left by the Storm of 1875, from a photograph taken in September, 1891, and exhibited at the Folklore Congress of that year. Sheen Lodge is seen in the distance. Although not taken from exactly the same standing point as Plate IV., the identity of the lower projecting elbow-like bought, after thirty-five years of growth, with the left-side bough of the tree in 1856, is pretty well shown by this view.” [JD 29/10/2008]
