PsycInfo (which is not complete for historical documents) lists no other publications for Rosalie Rayner (note the spelling) at all. According to Ray Fancher's _Pioneers of Psychology_ (3rd ed.), she was involved in the writing of Watson's _Psychological Care of Infant and Child_ (1928), but was not listed as a co-author. She died suddenly of dysentery in 1936, at which point both boys were sent to boarding school by their father. The little Peter studies were done by Mary Cover Jones in 1924, with some encouragement from Watson. You can find the study on line at http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Jones/ and an introduction to it by Alexandra Rutherford at http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Jones/intro.htm . Regards, -- Christopher D.
