This field journal documents Raven's fascinating field trip to Singapore, Java (Jawa), and Borneo from 22 February 1912 to 2 November 1914. The journal begins as a travel diary of events and observations as Raven sails to his destination. Raven's notes on field collecting are narrative and detailed. He describes the trapping, shooting, and collecting of birds, mammals, reptiles, and perhaps other specimen. Most of the mammals described are small mammals like squirrels, mice, and rats, but Raven also notes a number of monkeys collected. Some examples of locations include Mahakam River, Tenggarong, Samarinda, Tanjung Karangtigau, and Labahankelambu. Many other locations are included.
