Title
SECTION A NOTEBOOKS
Description

Although dates and locations of work are generally given, there are very few subject titles in these notebooks. Intercalated material in the volumes may include Watt's own page markers, notes and data, and pressed plants. Some of the notebooks have soil samples smeared on the pages. The nature of Watt's research entailed observing plots of vegetation over an extended period of time

This is reflected in Watt's use of his notebooks. Many were used to record data over many years, and include subsequent reassessment and correlation of data.
