The double-column text that follows contains extracts from the Cape Council's Diary, supplemented by other documents in the Archives. The texts of the authors are in large, Roman type, my comments and notes are either italicised or in square brackets. [dr] in the text means: Confirmed by the Diary entry for this date; whereas [dr 10/3] means: But the Diary has this for March 10. An asterisk * following a word means: Refer to the index for further information, where also will be found identifications of places, people, flora, fauna, the titles of books cited by authors' names, and notes on points marked with asterisks in the text.
