Thomas Walter Edwin Sowter

The Publications of T.W. Edwin Sowter
(permission to reproduce Sowter's Ottawa Naturalist articles was kindly granted by the Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club,
similarly, the Ontario Historical Society graciously allowed Sowter's 1915 article to be made available
 and finally, the Queen's Printer of Ontario no longer has an interest in restricting access to Sowter's 1917 article as the copyright has expired)

With the recent (2004) publication of a short article in the Canadian Museum of Civilization's Mercury series, T.W. Edwin Sowter becomes one of those rare authors to have published original material in three separate centuries.
