We are not aware of any other existing copies of this specific 34th report. One copy of the 30th report is registered in WorldCat as held by the University of Amsterdam (OCLC number 1285667664).- This report comes from the library of Dutch biologist Wim Bergmans (1940-2018), known for his correspondence with Dutch literary author Gerard Reve, among other things. Bergman has provided his name on the first free endpaper. - This official stenciled typescript report is accompanied by interesting original photographs taken during the voyage by Andries Hoogerwerf himself and by F. Huysman, head of the Photographic Atelier of Kebun Raya Indonesia in Bogor. - The report describes a service trip to three of the Lesser Sunda Islands (Komodo, Padar, and Rintja) made in the spring and summer of 1953. It describes, among other things, the population, topography, and vegetation of the three islands. There is also a detailed description of the mammals encountered: deer, wild boar, feral goats and horses, and monkeys. It also includes notes on birds, Komodo dragons, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. Besides these reports by A. Hoogerwerf, the report includes short accounts by F.F.F.E. van Rummelen, F.C. Kraneveld, and H.J.W. Keidel on geology, petrography, and other topics.
