This item contains eight folded cards (measuring 53.0x35.0 cm unfolded) bearing printed outlines of the human body (viewed from front and back) and a human head (viewed from the front, the side, and from above). They were printed to record hair growth patterns of subjects interviewed on BAR expeditions. The cards also contain fields for entering subject information, such as name, BAR individual subject number, sex, age, date and location. The printed outlines are marked with hand-drawn hair growth directions and varying degrees of information about the subject. Four of the cards are annotated by JH Gray, the physical anthropologist on a number of BAR expeditions. Three of the cards were completed during the expedition to the Diamantina region of north-east South Australia in 1934, one was completed during the expedition to Mount Liebig in 1932, and two of the cards contain no information indicating where or when they were completed. Two of the cards have been left blank.

More information on the subjects whose hair-growth patterns have been recorded here can be found in the BAR data cards (AA 346/4). The relevant individual subject numbers are J11, J33, and J34.

Names mentioned in these cards include Tommy Naylon.
