Notebooks of E.B. Dunlop containing field observations and notes on ornithological topics. Several of the notebooks also contain notes made after Dunlop's death and these are believed to be in the hand of F.C.R. (Francis Charles Robert) Jourdain. A note at the end of Dunlop's obituary in British Birds (Jul 1917) says that 'Before leaving for the front Mr. Dunlop appointed the Rev. F.C.R. Jourdain his literary executor'.
