That one's subtitle is:

"A lecture given to the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club, at Hereford, September, 1921, by Alfred Watkins, Fellow and progress medallist (for 1910), of the Royal Photographic Society; Past president (1919) of the Woolhope Club. With illustrations by the author, and much added matter."

So I think the 1925 book was a considerably expanded version of the lecture.

[Edit] I have owned a paper copy of the book, and I loaned it to a friend (I can't remember who) but in any event it never came back. Perhaps the friend found it too boring to finish. But I simply don't want to buy a second copy of the same book.
