    Excellent question!!

    Here is the Image from the film where the abbreviations and their meanings are listed. In case it isn't captured properly, it is image 56. You can browse the beginning pages and get a good lesson on what you are indexing, if interested.

    https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/image-details?imageGroupNumbers=004019462&rmsId=TH-1961-45164-5544-71&imageIndex=55&singleView=true

    The B in the top corner with the page number is for Burials. Your image is 196, you have to go back to 141 to see the title Burials of. Also on image 41, there is an index which also tells us that D1-C51 are baptisms, M1-32 are marriages, and B1 - B111 are burials.
