Correspondence between Oliver Lloyd of the University of Bristol Speleological Society and Robinson.

He outlines contrasts between 'the two dates upon which the Burren year hinges' and farming practice in Connemara. Of the placenames he says 'placename studies in Ireland are a rescue-archaeology of a shallowly buried sacred landscape'.
