In May 1879, Brown submitted a printed 'annual report', his first since taking up
his appointment as SA's Conservator of Forests the previous September, to the Forest
Board of SA, which adopted it and agreed to forward it, together with its own report,
to the responsible Minister, the Commissioner of Crown Lands (see the Board's report,
Adelaide observer, 2 August 1879, p. 10). However, no copy of Brown's report has been found.
