This table has been compiled using House records, C. A. Hughes & B. D. Graham, A Handbook of Australian Government and Politics 1890-1964 , Australian National University Press, Canberra, 1968, pp. 285-422 and G. Sawer, Australian Federal Politics and Law 1901-1929 and Australian Federal Politics and Law 1929-1949 . Party affiliations of Members were not officially recorded by the Department of the House of Representatives until 1956. Prior to 1956 contemporary records and subsequent histories do not always agree on the party affiliations of Members.
