content: This field book is part of a collection of field notes by Robert (Bob) A. Bartlett (1875-1946). Bartlett was born in Brigus, Newfoundland. He spent much of his career at sea in the Arctic, taking part in and later leading expeditions in the region. These notes concern a 1932 trip to Greenland. The notes are written on 102 loose pages and dated from August 11 to 22, 1932. The collected specimens include birds; hauls and dredges were also performed, plankton and insects were collected.

Additionally, specimens were collected in Utah, Silver City, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas. Other locations may be included. Specimen entries range from brief lists to long descriptions of the specimen, where it was found, and the weather conditions. Many reptile specimens listed are lizards and many bird specimens listed are sparrows. Also includes business card and letter from the Arizona Citizen in Tucson, Arizona.

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 such as crustaceans, star fish, and sponges). Localities are not listed in this volume, but the albatross was known to be between San Francisco to the Bering Sea region at this time (based on the history of the ship's activities). A note from July 19th 1890 on the back end papers notes the Albatross is at Bristol Bay.

They vary between narrative in structure, lists, and drawings of bird locations. The narrative entries frequently begin with range of time and descriptions of weather; age, type (common name), and quantity of birds observed; and remarks. Narrative is often followed by a "day list" of birds observed. Birds lists contain common names. Drawings are essentially diagrams/maps of bird observations, depicting location and behavior.

content: This field book contains field notes on birds taken from 14 November 1982 to 26 January 1983 (then to 4 June 1983). Notes contain daily lists of various birds spotted in Virginia. Most of the birds listed were observed at Eike's home on 6207 Newman Road, Fairfax or in the surrounding area. Birds sighted in other locations may also be included. Notes often include weather and temperature information, quantity, sometimes time spotted, and the sex of the birds. Legend on the verso of the cover: triangle – from rocker flying; "*" -- first sighting for Eike. Clipping about lunar eclipse, 12-29-82, is included. Eike’s wife and daughter take over notes after 21 January 1983. Eike dies 8 February. There's a long break in the notes, then they resumes 3-11 and continue until 6-4-1983 (presumably continued by Claire Eike).
