'Copy of a Report to the Bombay Government on Lithographic Limestone from the South-East Coast of Arabia', written by H.J. Carter, Assistant Surgeon, in which he describes the limestone ridge on the eastern coast which runs in a north-east direction as they approached the south-western half of the Kuria Muria Bay. This forms mountains near the coast with a tableland inland. Carter writes his description to send with some specimens and describes from where he took the specimens. He also writes about the people who inhabit the region.

This volume contains copies of, or extracts from, letters sent to the Royal Asiatic Society between 1846 and 1852. They are written into a leather-bound volume with the title 'Extracts' on its front cover. Besides the letters which cover 93 pages, there are subsequently some rough pencil notes and a diagram in a different hand (possibly a child's) followed by blank pages and an index at the end of the manuscript.
