Leon Jona was a prolific writer and contributed to various journals at least 38 original articles; these ranged over a wide field from "Refractive Indices of the Eye Media of Some Australian Animals" through "Segmental Distribution of Blood Vessels in Upper Limb" to obstetrical and gynaecological subjects.
