The title page states: 'Authors selected by the Board for Anthropological Research, University of Adelaide'; 'Handbook of the Flora and Fauna of South Australia, issued by the South Australian Branch of the British Science Guild Handbooks Committee and published by favour of the Honourable the Premier FH Walsh, esq., MP ' Proofs of the title, contents and acknowledgement pages, preface (by JB Cleland, see AA 60) and illustrations, and the following chapters: 'Physical Characteristics' by Prof. AA Abbie (see AA 688); 'Mental Capacity' by Prof SD Porteus; 'Antiquity of Man in Australia' by PS Hossfeld (see AA 140); 'Population and Tribal Distribution' by EC Black (see AA 31); 'The Ecology of the Aboriginal in South and Central Australia' by JB Cleland; and 'Stone Implements' by TD Campbell (see AA 52) and R Edwards (see AA 83).

  2. Article titled ' The Board for Anthropological Research' on pages 15 and 16 of the Adelaide University Gazette, May 1957. A subheading states: 'This article was prepared by JB Cleland'. A list of Board expeditions at the end of the article has been annotated by NB Tindale (see AA 338).
