The mounting and binding style of most of these slides is similar to that in the Loch Ness Monster set (Lucerna 3010578), and this set may have formed a companion lecture to that one. Several slides from that set were found in the same box with these, which could indicate that this lecture included items from the Loch Ness lecture.
This set includes a number of slides from other parts of the Manchester Museum collection, which are probably included to illustrate real animals on which some of the myths are possibly based. The slides are shown here in the order in which they were found in the Manchester Museum collection, which may or may not correspond to the order of the original lecture.
59 slides in Manchester Museum Collection
3 slides in Marshall Collection
1 slide in Owens College Collection
59 slides known to exist in private collection
