Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers 2697 to 2749, 1060 to 1091, recorded 12 August 1886 to 19 September 1887.

A list of abbreviations is pasted to the title page. Remarks sometimes record types of specimens caught (e.g. fish, mollusks, star fish, sponges, coral, frogs, crustaceans). Localities are not listed in this volume, but they were possibly traveling in Woods Hole or the Canadian Maritime provinces (based on the history of the ship's activities).
