Data recorded include station number (no.), date, machine, turns, correction, depth, shot or lead, bottom, bottom temperature, number of thermometer, correction, corrected temperature, air temperature, surface temperature, drift, trawl or dredge, sounding wire readings, dredge rope readings, serial temperatures, and general remarks. Some notes on specimens caught are included (type and quantities of fish or other marine life). Correction table is included in the front of the book. Localities are not listed in this volume, but the albatross was known to be traveling between Point Arena and Point Conception (off the coast of California) at this time (based on the history of the ship's activities).

Other types of specimens may have been collected. Stelfox lists the name of the specimen, date collected, sex, quantity, sometimes remarks on the weather, location, sometimes specific type of environment, sometimes remarks about which specimens he would like to collect, sometimes additional information. Some specimens were collected by R. A. Phillips. Localities include, but are not limited to Gold Mine Valley, Lugnaquilla, Arklow, Deer Park, Kilcoole, Kilcarry Bridge, and Canterbury. 'R.C.L.P' following a name signifies that specimen were seen and verified by D. R. C. L. Perkins, F.R.S. “List of ichneumons and braconids sent to S. A. Roman in Nov. 1929 (not.

Pages are numbered, and includes sketches, cross sections, diagrams, and news clippings. First notes relate to pahoehoe lava observed at Pedregal and Paricutín, Mexico. Includes sketches of lava structure and Zapicho vent of Paricutín. At page 7, Foshag enters dated, narrative style journal entries describing Paricutín. Foshag highlights details by including keywords in the left-hand margin of the entries relating to information like tremors, ash, bombs, odor, vapor, arcs, explosions, and specific flows. Details include appearance of the cone, emanating clouds, the Zapicho vent, terrain and changes to it, work done with colleagues (includes names), daily activities, information about reports, campsites, types of rocks observed, and specimens collected. Some entries include information recorded with distances or time periods. Includes pencil drawings of Paricutín Volcano and a copy of official correspondence in Spanish.

content: This folder contains maps showing distribution and abundance of Frigata minor (Great Frigatebird) based on at-sea observations from February 1963 through August 1965 for the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program. Distribution and abundance data are represented by symbols, numbers, and colors added to printed maps of the central Pacific Ocean. Each map shows data from one calendar month, with one map for each month of the year. No year information is shown on the maps, although an explanatory page in the folder says that the maps represent observational data from February 1963 through August 1965. Each map may therefore represent data collected during that month in one year or more than one year. Each symbol (square or circle) on the map represents one day's observations, with number of birds observed that day written inside the symbol. The map legends and explanatory sheet in the folder provide additional information on interpretation of the maps.

Entries are chronological and pages are numbered. Specimen details covered are: bird name, collector, description, location, size (measurements), and sex. The first 25 pages list of specimens from various sources and numerous locations (some international). Some include specimens collected by H.W. Wright (Pasadena, California) with another set of specimen numbers.|Wetmore collected around Canandaigua Lake, New York (July 9 - August 31). Notes for this trip start with an explanation of the travels in the area and his impressions. He describes the terrain, weather, and observed birds in detail, though no specimens are listed. He frequents Whiskey Point. Includes a loose insert bird list from Canandaigua Lake, New York. He was in Rockport, Ontario, Canada (August 15 - 22). This section includes a description of the town, terrain surrounding, with some discussion of the geology of the area. Discusses in detail the birds he observed, though no specimens are noted. He includes observations for New York State on September 1. April 11 - August 22, Wetmore collected in the area around Golden, Colorado. Includes descriptions of specimens and detailed observations of the day's outings, some near Hazeltine and Cattle Rock. There are several mentions of collecting with Bob Rockwell, and Harry Taylor, and Sloyd Russel. Some specimens come from E. Carter and Mr. Hersey. |Along left-hand side of entries in back (even pages 284-298) includes alphabetical index with page numbers.

content: The field notes document the work of Richard D. Sage in Costa Rica, Mexico, and United States, July 7 - September 7, 1965. The field notes are divided into two sections: journal and species seen. The journal documents work in Costa Rica. Pages are numbered. Entries are dated and begin with location (usually landmark, town, province, country), elevation and describe field work completed, specimens collected, flora and fauna observed. Most descriptions focus on bees and related plants. Entries contain detailed descriptions of appearance, quantity and behavior of bees, their nests, sometimes listed with time of day. Includes sketches and hand drawn maps with notes on observed behavior and location and type of plants. There are also detailed descriptions of flowering plants, sometimes with specimen number. |In section listed "species seen," entries begin with locality, date, and list observed fauna with quantity and their common or scientific name. These include at least birds, reptiles, and mammals. At the end of the field notes is a list of pictures taken, which describe images per film roll, with captions. Captions detail location, elevation, and description. There is also an expedition outfit list from a University of California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology 1947 Expedition and map of Mexico.|Locations are in (but limited to) Guanacaste and San Jose in Costa Rica; California and Texas in United States; Oavaca and Sonora in Mexico.
