Footnote
Note: the topographical sketch listed in the contents: "Distant view of Albert Land across Prince Alfred Bay" does not seem to be present at p.87, but an unlisted sketch, 'Point Separation/Point Petersen' can be found at page 70 and the sketch at p.85 incorporates two sketches, including 'Distant view of Prince Albert Land', suggesting a printing fault rather than a lacking leaf.
