The volume may document the work of individuals in the employ of the Illinois Geological Survey. Name identification varies from full last name to initials. The volume contains separation tabs listing names of states. Entries include location information (sometimes and marks, distance from, and loc. number), description of geological characteristics (color, composition, measurements), sometimes geological sections or sketches of terrain with notes. At the bottom of each sheet is a stamped list of fields including: by, date, quad, part, county, index number. Frequently by, date, state, county, and index number is listed.
