Subject matter covers terrain (altitude / elevation) and vegetation seen enroute, daily work, specimen collecting, staff including members of local tribes, photographs taken, wildlife observed (birds), and weather. Part of the notebook is blank. Locations include the vicinity of Gatun, Cerro Azul, and Calobre.
