The field book includes descriptions and observations of sites in Alaska during William Dall's work there in 1873.

Sites for which lists of observed species exist include: Attu Island, Kyska Island, Amchitka Island, Saint George, Port Moller, and Pribyloff [Pribilof] Island. Dall also describes rocks and strata observed for Atka and Kyska. Includes sketches of specimens, charts, Aleut terms for Whales, and survey measurements.
