A piece of paper with a curved cut, resembling a section of a light curve. 28 variable star estimates (1933 April 23 to 1933 July 23) are recorded on small pieces of loose paper. 26 observations (1933 July 22 to 1933 August 24) are recorded on writing paper with the letter head of the Amatola Hotel (Alice, Cape Province).
