The following is a list of scenes that are still lost and which are not present in the 129 min version recovered in 1999.

INT.CARD ROOM. Tracy dials the phone. INT.COTTAGE. Phone rings in the empty cottage.

CUT TO:
151 INT - CARD ROOM - NIGHT 151
Through the door of the Card Room, Tracy can be seen
coming down the stairs. Large in the F.G. of the SHOT
is the telephone. When she reaches the bottom of
the stairs, she tries to decide what to do. Looking
in the direction of the telephone, she crosses to it,
picks it up and starts to dial a number. HOLD ON HER
as she listens to a ring.
152 INT - COTTAGE - NIGHT 152
The room is in darkness as the SOUND OF THE TELEPHONE
can be HEARD ringing...ringing...ringing.

And you will no doubt recall, especially considering its number is written on its bottom right corner, that still is #17 in the NoDS Editor's Portfolio. The interesting thing about it, though, is that, unlike most of the other stills that are a part of that portfolio, I don't recall it ever having been published anywhere back in the day, or even today...

After Quentin slams the tower door on Tracy, he works on continuing Charles' unfinished portrait and embraces the ghostly Angelique.
And speaking of something that's very rarely seen, I almost forgot to share the color version of the first still from above:

You may wonder, if I said I've never come across a still from Scene 150, then why did I make a graphic for that scene -
- using this still:
Well, that's because Scene 150 says Angelique "lies on the cot," which indeed she is doing in the still, so even if it's not specifically associated with Scene 150, it comes damn close. And she may not be "holding out her arms" to Quentin, but as we've seen numerous times already, even when it comes to stills definitely known to be associated with specific scenes, they often depict characters in ways other than how the script describes them. Plus, I love that still.
And as a bonus, here's a very rarely seen alternate shot:
