This field book is a diary from 14 June to 14 August 1929 documenting Graham's field expedition to Mupin and field collecting trips in the Suifu (currently Yibin) vicinity. Graham provides a narrative description of daily activities including amounts and types of specimens he and associates collected or purchased. Graham collected mammals, birds, insects, snakes, and possibly other specimens. Mammal numbers range from 256-307; mammal skin numbers include 258. Graham and colleague comment on how poor the collecting on Mt. Omei (currently Emei Shan) is this year. Locations in which Graham collected include Kiating (currently Leshan), Yao Gi, Mupin (currently Muping), Mount Omei, and modern day Yibin. Graham often includes elevations of localities where specimens were found. Descriptions of some specimens are occasionally provided. Graham also collects artifacts and makes ethnological and anthropological observations during this trip. No scientific names are provided.
