70 leaves of seaweed specimens with hand written titles . There is a full page poem about seaweeds which begins " The depths of the ocean, afford us a home, We ride to the shore on billows white foam" and is bordered by different types of seaweed. Included is one specimen collected from the Potomac River dated 1861 and another is sent from a friend "Lowestaft 1882". It shows us that the owner of this book kept on adding to it over 25 years and has been cherished for many years.
