Scope and Content
This notebook of brown leather contains further geological observations in Auvergne, often as diary entries of daily observations. On the front cover plate is written "No 3. France Pont du Chateau to Murol May 28th to June 14th 1828".
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.
