English
The field book includes descriptions and observations of sites in Alaska during William Dall's work there in 1873. Most of the book is made up of different kinds of lists -- observed birds, birds collected, and species not identified by common name. Latin and common names as used throughout. Sites for which lists of observed species exist include: Attu Island, Kyska Island, Amchitka Island, Saint George, Port Moller, and Pribyloff [Pribilof] Island. Dall also describes rocks and strata observed for Atka and Kyska. Includes sketches of specimens, charts, Aleut terms for Whales, and survey measurements.
