Among early collectors in South Australia were Dr. Behr, Mr. 
Fortnum, and Mr. W. Davis; in Victoria, Mr. Howitt, Mr. T. 
Oxley, and Mr. Porter; and in “New Holland,” Mr. Tring 
(Saunders, Trans. Ent. Soc., iv., 1845, p. 154), but whether or 
no these belong to the Pre-Victorian Era I cannot ascertain. 
Dr. Bynoe, Capt. Sir George Grey, Dr. Preiss, and Mr. Drum- 
mond, jun., belong to the very early portion of the Victorian 
Era. 
Among others who presented specimens of Australian animals, 
without published history, to the Linnean Society’s collection 
during the Pre-Victorian Era, but who never resided in or 
visited Australia, as far as I know, may be mentioned :—Sir 
Everard Home, Mr. Edward Barnard, Mr. Charles Stokes, Mr. 
Joshua Brookes, Mr. Milne, Rev. S. Bale, Mr. Leadbeater, Mrs. 
Howley, Mrs. Huskisson, and Dr. Merriman. In 1827 (or 1828) 
Mr. C. Telfair presented an “ assemblage of Mammalia, Reptiles, 
and Fishes, from New Holland and Madagascar” to the Zoo- 
logical Society’s Museum (Zool. Journ., v., p. 610). 
Dr. Leach notes that he received specimens of Neuroptera, 
including specimens from Australia, from (Sir) W. J. Hooker, 
some of which were apparently presented to the British Museum 
(Zool. Misc., i., p. 102; ii., p., 96). 
The non-British factor in the work of collecting the fauna is 
more easily reckoned with. Omitting the ill-fated expedition of 
La Pérouse, seven French circumnavigating expeditions visited 
Australia between the years 1792 and 1832. An eighth, to- 
gether with the United States Expedition under Commander 
Wilkes, arrived before John Gould’s return to England. These 
all carried capable botanists, or zoologists, or both; or else the 
medical officers, and in one case the commander, volunteered 
for the work. In every case they were acting under a sense 
of responsibility officially imposed or voluntarily acknowledged. 
With the exception, perhaps, of Labillardiére and Riche, the 
French collectors knew that their collections were destined for the 
National Museum in Paris. Before the expeditions left France 
the collectors spent some time with the Professors at the 
Museum, and were coached in their duties. They were also
