The journal did not drop for me it was inside a brown bag hanging in a tree at 40, 37. I will post a screenshot of the satchel.

Be slightly careful on this one. I read the comments and saw the bag on the tree, next to the corpse. The cog came on on my mouse pointer and I looted the bag and then shot back to turn in the quest and couldn't understand why it wouldn't let me do it. I looked through my bags and found that I had looted a knapsack with some worthless stuff in it. Had auto-loot on and never checked!
Had to go back and kill loads of slimes. The journal dropped from one of the small oozlings rather than the big one so check them all!

Correct ^^ I spent about an hour killing oozes until I read that. The bag is hanging from a branch near a dead blood elf corpse at 40,37

Description

My husband, Arelion, had been fascinated with the Pools of Aggonar ever since we arrived in Outland. He spent much of his time studying slimes, of all things! He went missing in there a few days ago. They say he's dead and there's nothing I can do about it. One thing I can do is try to ensure that his research doesn't die with him. Go northeast to the pools and look for his journal. He always carried it inside a brown knapsack.

Where to go

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Birds of a FeatherHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30
The Haal'eshi arakkoa have domesticated a beautiful bird species called the kaliri. I've managed to capture a young male and they appear to be trainable. The females are much rarer, but if I had one I could attempt to breed them. She has to be young, though... a hatchling.
