lities not previously known on maps. These were evidently prepared 

 either by Flinders in the compilation of his survey notes or by Brown 

 and Flinders in collaboration. There seems to have been no previous 

 attempt to correlate all these code names with those on modern maps 

 or even with the places in the charts published by Flinders and re- 

 ferred to in his text. Such a correlation is now possible because of a 

 study of the plant descriptions left in manuscript by Brown and also 

 because Flinders' "original" charts have been located in the Mapping 

 Division of the Admiralty. The former give names in association with 

 code localities and collecting dates, while the latter permit a proper 

 check with recent maps. Copies of the original charts have been obtained 

 and are now in the herbarium of the Division of Plant Industry, 

 C. S. I. R. O., Canberra.' 



[According to Mack (1958), Flinders evidently decided upon most 

 of the 250 place-names adopted on his chart not while actively sur- 

 veying but during his long captivity afterwards. They were thus coined 

 after he and Brown had parted and so were never added to Brown's 

 herbarium material.] 



'The periods during which code locality names were used are those 

 during the voyage from King George's Sound [1] to Port Jackson [20] 

 and from Port Jackson to Arnhem Bay [32] . These are denoted, in the 

 "Prodromus", by the letters (M) and (T) respectively. 



The Investigator arrived at King George's Sound [1], frequently re- 

 ferred to by Brown as "Kind George III. Sound", early in December, 

 1801, and remained there until the end of the first week of January, 

 1802,. The survey then proceeded along the south coast of Western 

 Australia and South Australia to Encounter Bay r whose name com- 

 memorates the meeting vvith the French expedition under Baudin. The 

 French having already surveyed the coast which the Investigator was 

 now passing, Flinders proceeded direct to King Island [18], which 

 Baudin's party had missed. From there he made for Westernport, but 

 entered Port Phillip [19] instead. After spending a few days there he 

 sailed for Port Jackson [20], which was reached on May 9, 1802. 



Port Jackson was left late in July and Brown's collecting from the ship 

 recommenced at Sandy Cape [21] on July 31st. Work continued north 

 to the Cumberland Islands [25], where, on October 18th, the Investi- 

 gator parted company with the Lady Nelson, which had accompanied 

 her from Port Jackson. From here they went north to Murrays' Islands 

 in Torres Strait and thence to Prince of Wales Islands [26] off the Cape
