The journal, field notes, and report documents Helmut Buechner's field work in Washington and California, 1953. Journal entries are dated and are frequently labeled with location. They describe daily work and activities, colleagues with whom worked, meetings attended, observations of flora and fauna (vegetation, mammals, birds), and terrain. Observations vary in content, sometimes as lists of common names. There is a typed document providing details for a field trip to Santa Ynez Valley, California. Locations include Point Conception, California.
