Rowland Ward Publications Wanted

Background: I have been compiling information on publications by Rowland Ward Ltd. for a period of over ten years in order to do a thorough, comprehensive bibliography of the books by this famous London publisher and taxidermist.  Since I deal in antiquarian books as well as being a publisher, I have owned almost all Rowland Ward publications.  Below are those that still elude me and would like to purchase.  Please quote any you may have for sale.
