This is the second of three volumes containing records of Tindale's expeditions to the South-East of South Australia during the 1934-1940 period, together with associated data. The volume is a compilation of handwritten and copied notes, photographs, hand-drawn and printed maps with annotations. The volume is introduced by a contents page. There is no index.

The frontispiece contains a print of 'Big Fred, One of the Aboriginal Group that attended the Melbourne Council', taken from an 1890 Salvation Army publication. Notes relating to this image are on pages 168-170. Following the contents pages (iii - x), a pasted-in map with Tindale's ink annotations depicts his two 1934 South East of South Australia expeditions, one from Christmas 1933 to January 1934, and the other in February 1934. Over the page is a note relating to Mason's missing Wellington journal.
