This series contains several monographs and reprints covering various subjects of interest to Johnson, including anthropology and ethnology, particularly with regard to Australian Aborigines, as well as some discussion of mineralogy and geology. Several papers authored by Norman Tindale (see AA 338) are included in this series, and Australian Aboriginal tool-making methods and Australites were clearly subjects of interest to Johnson.

Some of the monographs have been inscribed to Johnson personally by the authors.

The monographs are paperback, and many have been reprinted from other journals, such as Records of the South Australian Museum, and Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia. They reflect some of the subjects in which Johnson maintained a keen interest and the colleagues with whom he was in contact.
