Book II March, 1937. Notes. South Building. Gamma is any point on the south face of the South wall of the South Building. Delta is two metres north of it. Beta is 2 metres south of it. West of South Building signifies west of west face of wall of bldg. Example: West of S. Bldg. Delta west 16 would mean at point 2 metres [illegible] north of south wall & 16 metres west of west face of west wall. See plan Book I p. 62. Situation of Trench 5 shown in plan. Position of Trench 9 described in Diary for March 11.
