They are preceded by a memorandum in reply to observations by Colonel (later Lieutenant-General Sir) Henry W Bunbury, 7th Baronet, 1811 (folio 1), and there are notes in red ink in the margins of several of the pages by Bunbury (according to a note at folio 15 verso). A leaf is cut out between folios 105 and 106.
