Some hand drawn sketches and maps. Locations include Madagascar and South Africa. Note that 6 leaves of an undated narrative are inserted before the November 26, 1929 entry.

The meaning of the numbers is not specified, but dates range from April 20, 1929 to May 3, 1931, and also include the locations of Decarys route. The Mission zoologique franco-anglo-américaine à Madagascar was an expedition to Madagascar coordinated with and represented by delegates from French, English and American institutions.
