This series contains forty-one 35mm colour slides mounted for use in a slide projector. Of these fourteen have no corresponding drawing, including one duplicate (AA 134/1). There are therefore thirteen slides of drawings with no corresponding drawing. Charles Pearcy Mountford (AA 228) used these images in his paper Examples of Aboriginal art from Napier Broome Bat and Parry Harbour, North Western Australia published in 1937 in the Royal Society of South Australia Transactions. It is possible he kept some of the drawings, There are also some drawings he uses which the South Australian Museum has neither the origial drawing nor a slide.

The series was digitised in June 2010.
