Approximately 29 pages and all of the plates are devoted to the narrative and the local Aborigines who appear in 16 of the plates. This is followed by scientific reports mainly on mammals birds spiders insects and botany. This issue also contains a major contribution by Bronislaw MALINOWSKI: The Natives of Mailu.

Original dark green cloth decorated in black on the front and rear boards and decorated and lettered in gilt on the spine; cloth lightly flecked; a fine copy. An early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time of publication; the lengthy 34-page introduction by Woods is new to this edition. This is a variant edition as issued we purchased several copies some years ago from the publisher's archive; it does not contain the eight tinted lithographs normally found in this collected reprint. These plates were new to the reprint. Not commonly known is that Taplin's substantial contribution 'The Narrinyeri' 156 pages plus 6 preliminaries is the text of the revised edition of 1878 see his informative preface dated 12 April 1878 at page xliii. The Wyatt contribution was not previously published as such; the text here was 'principally extracted from his official reports' stemming from his relatively short and unhappy time as the third South Australian Protector of the Aborigines from 1837 to 1839 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The contributions by Meyer Schuermann Gason and Bennett first appeared in 1846 1846 1874 and 1869 respectively. Ferguson 13095 noting variant bindings but not noting this unillustrated edition. E.S.
