label: Scope and Contents note
content: The languages mentioned are Kaantju and Lamalama [Aboriginal languages, Cape York], Meriam Mer [= Miriam of the previous notebook] and Mabuiag [Torres Strait languages]. This notebook and the following are duplex notebooks with white pages and blue pages for the carbon duplicates. However, O'Grady did not use the carbons for these books, and instead conducted parallel elicitation sessions on white pages and blue pages. That is, one should read sets of the white pages sequentially, and then the blue pages. Sequencing is complicated by the fact that O'Grady also sometimes wrote on the facing page, which is the opposite color.
