    Hi wip ef test

    Two more letters of the alphabet and lots of new mine names to add to my Dartmoor visual bibliography map. 

    As I work my way through the mines it is becoming increasingly apparent the gaps in Hamilton Jenkin’s Mines of Devon index. Many mines listed in the Grid Reference pages are not referred to in the index. As the map grows I will be able to use the location markers to fill in the index gaps. An added value of these posts will be a more extensive index then that provided by the author.
