"The Gundaroo Bullock":

[ Said Morgan, "Tis the carcase of an old man native bear. ]
changed to:
[ Said Morgan, "'Tis the carcase of an old man native bear. ]

"Lay of the Motor-Car": To put this poem in perspective, it must be
remembered that this book was published in 1917, and the poem written
earlier. It may be helpful to compare Paterson's short story, "Three
Elephant Power", in the book of the same name that was published in the
same year. The plot centres around a speed demon who would drive at
unspeakable speeds, even up to 45 MPH! (About 72 Km/H.)

"The Mylora Elopement":

[ No thought has be but for his prize. ]
changed to:
[ No thought has he but for his prize. ]

"The Protest":

[ W ll, but I KNOW. ]
changed to:
[ Well, but I KNOW. ]

"The Maori's Wool":

[ In any place more civilised that Rooti-iti-au. ]
changed to:
[ In any place more civilised than Rooti-iti-au. ]

"The Lost Drink", "The Matrimonial Stakes", "Not on It", "The
Scapegoat", "The Angel's Kiss", and "The Reveille" were all dropped from
"Saltbush Bill" when it was included in Paterson's "Collected Verse"
(first issued in 1921). No poems were added, though "The Song of the
Pen" moved from the front of the book to the back, and several titles
were slightly changed. No effort has been made to compare the texts.

There was no Table of Contents in the original trench-edition; one was
added.

Omitted from the original are the index (to Paterson's first 3 books)
and the "frontispiece and vignette by Lionel Lindsay", the first of
which was set above the lines:

"But when the dawn makes pink the sky
And steals across the plain,
The Brumby horses turn and fly
Towards the hills again."

which is a (mis)quote of the fourth stanza of "Brumby's Run" (should be
"steals along the plain").
