Narrative:

Upon arrival to the aircraft in dlh, a station agent came up the jetway stairs and presented me with 1) a deicing notification form, 2) the fuel slip, and 3) the origination flight security form. Upon presenting these papers to me, he said there might be a #1 form on my yoke clip. Thinking he misspoke, I asked whether it was a #1 form or a deicing notification form, since he had that one in his hand. He replied that the de-icing notification form he brought up was a copy since he wasn't sure we had one in the cockpit. There was no further mention of a #1 form, nor did I ever see one. Upon arrival in ZZZ and during my postflt, there were 2 ground agents and a supervisor looking into cargo bin #1 (a bin not approved for dangerous goods). I also looked into the bin and saw a box with a dangerous goods classification label. I spoke briefly with the supervisor who confirmed that we had carried non-allowable dangerous goods in a prohibited bin and he showed me the unsigned #1 form. A dispatch supervisor and chief pilot were notified in a conference call once I got to a phone. I believe I made a reasonable attempt to clarify the station agent's statement regarding the possible #1 form. However, given the importance of proper handling of dangerous goods, I would in the future take extra time to make certain whether or not a station is contemplating a dangerous goods shipment. When I looked over the unsigned #1 form upon arrival in ZZZ, the form very clearly described a dangerous goods that I know we are not allowed to carry. Had I seen the form, the shipment would not have gotten on board the aircraft.

Title: ACR CREW TRANSPORTED DANGEROUS GOODS THAT WERE NOT ALLOWED, AND IN A PIT LOCATION THAT IS PROHIBITED FOR DANGEROUS GOODS.

Narrative: UPON ARR TO THE ACFT IN DLH, A STATION AGENT CAME UP THE JETWAY STAIRS AND PRESENTED ME WITH 1) A DEICING NOTIFICATION FORM, 2) THE FUEL SLIP, AND 3) THE ORIGINATION FLT SECURITY FORM. UPON PRESENTING THESE PAPERS TO ME, HE SAID THERE MIGHT BE A #1 FORM ON MY YOKE CLIP. THINKING HE MISSPOKE, I ASKED WHETHER IT WAS A #1 FORM OR A DEICING NOTIFICATION FORM, SINCE HE HAD THAT ONE IN HIS HAND. HE REPLIED THAT THE DE-ICING NOTIFICATION FORM HE BROUGHT UP WAS A COPY SINCE HE WASN'T SURE WE HAD ONE IN THE COCKPIT. THERE WAS NO FURTHER MENTION OF A #1 FORM, NOR DID I EVER SEE ONE. UPON ARR IN ZZZ AND DURING MY POSTFLT, THERE WERE 2 GND AGENTS AND A SUPVR LOOKING INTO CARGO BIN #1 (A BIN NOT APPROVED FOR DANGEROUS GOODS). I ALSO LOOKED INTO THE BIN AND SAW A BOX WITH A DANGEROUS GOODS CLASSIFICATION LABEL. I SPOKE BRIEFLY WITH THE SUPVR WHO CONFIRMED THAT WE HAD CARRIED NON-ALLOWABLE DANGEROUS GOODS IN A PROHIBITED BIN AND HE SHOWED ME THE UNSIGNED #1 FORM. A DISPATCH SUPVR AND CHIEF PLT WERE NOTIFIED IN A CONFERENCE CALL ONCE I GOT TO A PHONE. I BELIEVE I MADE A REASONABLE ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY THE STATION AGENT'S STATEMENT REGARDING THE POSSIBLE #1 FORM. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER HANDLING OF DANGEROUS GOODS, I WOULD IN THE FUTURE TAKE EXTRA TIME TO MAKE CERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT A STATION IS CONTEMPLATING A DANGEROUS GOODS SHIPMENT. WHEN I LOOKED OVER THE UNSIGNED #1 FORM UPON ARR IN ZZZ, THE FORM VERY CLRLY DESCRIBED A DANGEROUS GOODS THAT I KNOW WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY. HAD I SEEN THE FORM, THE SHIPMENT WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ON BOARD THE ACFT.
