William Mann collects a birds, animals and reptiles, a list and quantity of which is recorded at the end of the diary.

Some specimens were collected, others purchased from collectors or governments. Lucile includes notes of interest handwritten on the backside of the typed pages. These include short stories, word definitions, and additional descriptions of events.
