The Bamforth catalogue spells the title as 'Malle', and the Riley catalogues use the title Lost in the Australian bush.
The title slide is not listed in the Bamforth catalogue; Bamforth and Riley catalogues give the total of slides as 23. The date is included on the title slide (usually concealed by the bottom binding strip), and is clearly 'July 188.'; the last digit is slightly unclear but appears to be a '7'.
24 slides known to exist in private collection
