Apart from numerous papers and articles in the entomological literature and in natural history journals and popular magazines including Walkabout,[3] books authored by Rayment include:
1933 - The Prince of the Totem. Robertson & Mullens: Melbourne. (Collection of Aboriginal tales and legends for children).
1935 - A Cluster of Bees. Endeavour Press: Sydney. (Major monograph comprising 60 essays on Australian bees).
1937 - The Valley of the Sky. Ivor Nicholson & Watson: London. (Novel).
1945 - Eagles and Earthlings. A metrical tribute to the air crews in the war. Author. (Poetry).
1946 - Profitable Honey Plants of Australasia. Whitcombe & Tombs: Melbourne. (Handbook to beekeeping).
1953 - Bees of the Portland District. Portland Field Naturalists Club.
Although Rayment is currently best remembered as a person who wrote expertly about beekeeping in Australia, he spent a considerable amount of time with the Aruntja people of Central Australia. He had no formal training as an anthropologist, but his wide-ranging intelligence was a good alternative to such training. He was sufficiently accepted by the Aruntja people that, although a white-man, he was regarded as an honorary member of their tribe.[citation needed]
In The Prince of the Totem, Rayment himself drew the striking black-and-white illustrations that vividly depict the characters, and events.
