Scope and Content
This brown leather notebook contains notes, sketches, and hasty descriptions on Norfolk geology and submarine currents. On the front cover is written the number 3, and Index is glued to the back cover. The contents are mostly artistic sketches within some hasty descriptions. Pencil and ink. Spine is highly fragile.
The following table of contents is Lyell's own words, copied from Lyell's own "Index", found at the beginning and end of the notebook, transcribed from digital surrogates using the platform Transkribus. When known, Lyell's abbreviations and contractions have been expanded using brackets []. When writing is unclear, and transcription is not possible, this is denoted using [...]. Quotation marks are Lyell's own notation for ditto, as is the abbreviation "d'o". The inclusion of [sic] indicates the misspelling of a word is deliberate and taken from the notebook.
