This notebook contains Lyell's observations while traveling from Shoreham, to Paris, to Angers, while visiting notable geological sites displaying "faluns", a stratum particular to France of shell beds from the Cenozoic period. He makes note of interactions with geologists Jules Desnoyers, Alexandre Brongniart, and Stokes, who is likely to be Charles Stokes. The notebook is mostly written in pencil, with illustrations by Lyell and Desnoyers. Locations: London - Shoreham - France

This index is not in Lyell's own words, but is notes from working with the notebook in the process of cataloguing. A complete index in Lyell's own words will be published in due course.
