Abstract

The notebook documents field work of Axel A. Olsson in Bowden, Jamaica and Florida, undated. The notes are headed with location, and describe a visit to Bowden February 16. Ollson lists with whom he is traveling, and geological observations of terrain on their route. Separately he lists mileage, participants (?), and fossil descriptions. Descriptions include identification, but not specimen numbers. There is one page of notes relating to oysters at Key West, Florida.
