Summary

Diary kept by Samuel Hubbe from 2 March to 23 December 1897 on what appears to have been an extended field trip to the north of the state in his capacity as a vermin inspector. The diary starts with him 'at sea - bound for Port Lincoln', and ends, after a sea trip back from Port Lincoln in the SS 'Ferrett' in the office 'preparing details of unleased lands in and adjacent to Gawler Ranges ... obtaining quotations and preparing estimates for wild dog destruction parties to be equipped and forwarded to the Gawler Ranges ... [and] compiling report re wild dog depredations etc'. There are three draft letters at the front of the diary, some dried plant specimens, and a 2 page article by J.E. Coudrey on 'saccharin' (originally located in 19-20 August page) which describes the unsuccessful use of the substance in place of sugar on a Hubbe-led field trip/expedition.
