Transcription Notes:
Made a few suggestions in cases of [[?]], and confirmed others (like "pencils" and "testaceous"). Also corrected "Aug" and "Sept". Looked good! I put the ^ symbols inside [[insertion]] code. - GigglePop Added [[circled]] code to the circled and struckthrough numbers on 2nd page. - GigglePop
