These leaves have an old pagination 1-200. It ceases thereafter. No title. Much space is left free before the first item - maybe for a beautifully written title, or even a drawing, to be entered at a later time. The items are not numbered. Dates are written in a separate line above the items, as a sort of heading. The legibility of the text is disturbed by ink corrosion. Ink corrosion of the paper, particularly on pages 79-82, 90-91, 94-95, 100-105, 108-109
