Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers Dr 3195 to 3227, Hyd 2251 to 2316, recorded 5 April to 30 May 1890. Data recorded include station number (no.), date, machine, turns, correction, depth, shot or lead, bottom, bottom temperature, number of thermometer, correction, corrected temperature, air temperature, surface temperature, drift, trawl or dredge, sounding wire readings, dredge rope readings, serial temperatures, and general remarks. Some notes on specimens caught are included (type and quantities of fish or other marine life such as eels, urchins, worms, and octopus). Table of abbreviations and correction table is included in the front of the book. Localities are not listed in this volume, but the albatross was known to be traveling between Point Arena and Point Conception (off the coast of California), and later sailed from San Francisco to the Bering Sea area at this time (based on the history of the ship's activities)
