A typed copy, stapled and bound in a plain cardboard cover 223mm x 185mm, taken from the diaries of E. R. Waite, with pencil sketches added. 

This was the copy of N. B. Tindale, his signature is in pencil on the front cover. Inside the front title page is a note of thanks from an associate that he had loaned the journal to.

'Dear Dr Tindale,

Thank you very much for lending me this most interesting diary. I read it first and the second time made notes of [illegible] interest and entomological observations for a planned history of NG entomology which I hope to write later if I live long enough.

Kindest regards

and happy hunting!
