Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the return to London.

The following table of contents is Lyell's own words, copied from Lyell's own "Index" - though this may well be complied and written by Mary Lyell - found at end of the notebook, transcribed from digital surrogates using the platform Transkribus. When known, Lyell's abbreviations and contractions have been expanded using brackets []. Brackets [] are also used to show where he has used ditto marks - he also uses Do for ditto. When writing is unclear, and transcription is not possible, this is denoted using [...]. Question marks are used only when he has used them. The inclusion of [sic] indicates the misspelling of a word is deliberate and taken from the notebook.
