Banana-Doughnut with Shu–Huei II
This particular collection, entitled "Banana-Doughnut with Shu–Huei II," began on May 14th, 1999. It is enclosed within a red loose leaf binder and contains mostly original handwritten notes from Dahlen himself, though there are, in addition, certain sections which contain computer-generated graphs.

It recounts Dahlen's further work with seismic ray theory, this time including notes from Shu–Huei Hung, who at the time was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton with Dahlen. A link to her current page can be found here. The banana-doughnut concept is crucial in seismology, as it describes the banana-doughnut shaped Fresnel Zone that is formed by a seismic ray. Fresnel Zones refer to the region of space around a signal where it can be most concentrated. In this piece, Dahlen's consideration of Shu–Huei's "ball" model is considered.
