Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Heatley Noble, 30 March 1912
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/18/15
Scope and Contents
Noble writes that he is expecting a visit from Elwes and that Ewart is welcome to stay too. He sees in The Field that Lydekker still believes that a certain breed of sheep are from South Africa although he has not been able to provide any proof, and that they were certainly in Britain 100 years before either of the flocks he mentions.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir William Ridgeway, 15 September 1904

Identifier: Coll-14/9/10/102
Scope and Contents
Ridgeway congratulates Ewart on the announcement of his marriage. He reports that he has finally got a photograph of the Somali wild ass in Regent's Park from Dando. He mentions forthcoming papers about quaggas from Pocock and Lydekker and concludes by enquiring whether the quagga's markings and its bay colour are to be attributed to its living under the same climactic conditions as the Libyan horse.
