Scope and Contents

Natural history diary kept while Tutton was a King's Scholar at Eton, which was awarded the Natural History Prize, 1930-1931.

From September 1931 the natural history entries mostly cease, and the diary becomes an ordinary record of events. January-July 1932 is a journal of a visit to Italy.
