Transcription Notes:
Unsure if the stat column title says "Deep do" or "Dup do." Edited to change Dup to Deep Previous pages in other Dall projects have transcribed the line as [[line]] so have edited for consistency to ensure that if the scientists want to remove the markup they can do so easily. -@siobhanleachman
