In the middle of the volume is a schedule listing the numbers of Maori residing in the Wanganui area, indicating how many were baptised and unbaptised.
Midway through the diary is a short, three-page, journal entry by the Reverend Richard Taylor, who accompanied McLean on an inland visit in January.
