  <dc:description>Seven squeezes, some with attached slips with pencil notes with transcriptions (numbering not original):

3.	" Sirchale, Karajadagh.[transcription] on a tombstone - a Latin cross on the upper part".

5.	"Uleuren. Hassan Dagh" Researcher's  note: "Ulu Ören (c.1908) 'On a rough-hewn block which formed part of a building'"
6. and 7. [no notes or transcriptions]

Also [in a separate folder]
Accompanying notes and transcriptions by Calder, 7 pages (half-sheets of lined quarto).
The first (covering) page reads:
'In August 1922 Ramsay handed me a bundle of impressions, saying that he had no note of their provenance. One of them (1) proves to be of an inscription which I copied on my first independent journey in 1908, when R. sent me to [illegible] and the Karaji Dagh to inspect some inscriptions of which Gertrude Bell had made notes &amp; impressions. My conclusion that these impressions are hers is confirmed by [left blank] who assures me that the notes of locality attached to some of the impression are in Miss Bell's handwriting. [...]'" 
The other six sheets are notes and transcriptions.
