Notes
The Waldo Schmitt's miscellaneous notes are from his work during the Palmer Peninsula (Antarctica) Survey, 1962-1963.

Some notes consist of lists, others are journal style in structure. Many have related dates. Some notes include citations or brief summaries of 19th and 20th century collecting/expedition history of the area. Locations discussed often include not just islands but also their bays, coves, and harbors.
