Now it says in 61.51 that that you have to include a description in the logbook of the training that was recieved for each flight. If there is a training syllabus, and you simply write in the comments "XYZ Flight School Private Lesson 26" and sign it, does that count as a description acceptable to the administrator? I mean if the administrator wanted, he could refer to leson 26 in the syllabus and get a much more detailed description of the what went on during that flight, than you could possibly write in the comments section of the logbook.

That's what I do on most flights, except for those flights that are specifically required for aeronautical experience. For those I write what we did and reference the FAR that requires that flight. Also, once flight proficiency in a given maneuver is demonstrated, I'll indicate that in the comments along with the lesson number, especially for pre-solo maneuvers.
