Some notes on birds observed and collected and a note about porpoises harpooned off of Maria Madre Island are also included. Locations include but are not limited to San Sebastian, Bay of Banderas, Valle Banderas, Tepic, San Blas, and Maria Madre Island. Nelson also takes notes reflecting his observations of local people and social customs.
