1898rif. 20487Adelaide: RSSA 1898. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Adelaide RSSA 1898. Octavo pages 125-192 plus a tipped-in errata slip with several minor references to this article. Wrappers slightly and uniformly tanned acidic paper; a fine copy uncirculated. Keartland's field notes make this far more interesting than the 'List of Birds' title suggests. For example he concludes his account of the Nankeen kestrel thus: 'I took four eggs from a tree near our camp and was surprised to find the nest lined with pellets of camel dung. This is probably the first time this material has been used for nest-lining'. Indeed. Other articles of more-or-less general interest include KOCH Max: A List of Plants collected on Mount Lyndhurst Run 18 pages; BROWNE J. Harris: Use of the Wedge by the Natives of the Great Barrier Plain 1 page; and the address by the president W.L. Cleland 7 pages essentially on the anthropology of Australia. RSSA paperback
1960rif. 15833Paris: Collection de la Societe de Geographie 1960. Very good overall. An image taken by Frank Hurley on the Mawson 1911-14 Australian Antarctic Expedition. One might draw the conclusion that the original image was in the collection of the French geographical society and is reprinted here in a very large format in blue ink the photo of seals and penguins lying on the pack ice. We once thought that it might have been from one of the French expeditions to the Antarctic perhaps Charcot's 4th Antarctic expedition. However Mark Pharaoh manager of the Mawson Centre at the South Australian Museum has confirmed that it is a Hurley image taken on Mawson's 1911-14 expedition. The title "La Banquise" below the image; "Cliche de la Collection de la Societe Geographie / Collection Jean-Pierre Geographie Pittoresque" lower left; lower right "Fernand Nathan Editeur Paris - Tous Droits Reserves". and with one very small thumb tack puncture below the title. 30 1/2 x 20 1/2" Collection de la Societe de Geographie unknown

1907rif. 142830NP: Nimrod Expedition 1907. Small piece of vellum 10 X 7 cm. Printed on one side are six words which were intended to have observations recorded adjacent. Other than a bit of shrinkage to the vellum the item is in nice condition. This interesting expedition registration slip seems to have been intended for oceanographic recording. The six areas for recording are titled as follows: No.; Date; Lat.; Long; Depth; and Temp. The provenance for the slip is from the Goldberg collection as the other items in the catalogue. Other than being recorded in the Goldberg personal catalogue as from the Nimrod Expedition there is nothing else to tie it to the expedition. Still an interesting artifact. 1907 Nimrod Expedition hardcover
