This is a small notebook with notes on different birds, outlining the family, genus, and species of each. It includes behavior and habitat notes and dates the birds have been spotted. At the end of the notebook are lists of Latin species names with their translation in English, and finally a draft of a manuscript about the "Sylvicolidae" (potentially meaning what is now the Parulidae) family of birds.
