'Kaiser-Wilhelmsland, North-East Coast using the latest sources: March 1910. Edited by the Evangelical Missionary Neuendettelsau Mission in Kaiser-Wilhelmsland. Drawn by Stephan Lechner, Lutheran Missionary'; the numerous mission stations are printed in red. There is a large inset map of Rook Island, and a much smaller one of New Guinea and North Australia (on which the mission station at Elim, near Cooktown, is marked). The only example of a map with this title in Trove is in the State Library of NSW: it is described as '[75 × 100] cm' and 'Scale not given', with one inset map of Rook Island. It is either a variant, or more likely, inaccurately described.
