A volume, 17 cent., containing pedigrees and poetry, the pedigrees being of considerable interest as many of them have been brought down to 1670 and later. Three places entered in the list of contents - Festiniog, Nanheudwy and Rhiw bebyll - do not appear in the body of the manuscript, while Rhiw Saeson (p. 174) is omitted from the table of contents. The volume also contains miscellaneous poetry in Welsh and English. The pagination is defective (see under 'Extent & Medium') and it is possible that the paginator made a page for page copy of a manuscript in which these pages were wanting.
