This field book is a diary from 16 July to 3 December 1933 documenting Graham's field expedition to Wen Chuan Hsien (currently Miansi?). Graham provides a narrative description of daily activities including amounts and types of specimens he and associates collected or purchased. Graham's descriptions in this journal are more detailed for mammal specimens collected, often providing the common name, elevation, date, and location where the specimen was collected. Some similar information is recorded for insects. Mammal numbers range from 1171-1262. Graham also collects birds, reptiles, and possibly other types of specimens. Locations beside Wen Chuan Hsien include Dong Men Wai, Sa Ping Kuang, and other locations.
