River bend and waterfall: which current is faster
Labelled sketch noting a runs faster than b; a leafy plant form below
A red-chalk study of a river bend and waterfall, with a small labelled diagram comparing the speed of the current: the note states that point a is faster than point b. An indeterminate figure is sketched at the upper right, and below spreads a leafy, reed-like plant form. The drawings are in red chalk with a few faint words.

Current faster at a than at b in a river bend
A river bend and waterfall are sketched with two marked points, a and b; the note observes that a is faster than b, comparing the velocity of the current along the curve.
Tuft of reeds or water plants
The lower half of the sheet shows a red-chalk spray of leafy, reed-like growth rising from a rounded base, drawn among the water studies.
