Brown and Bauer's collecting localities in Arnhem Land are listed 

 by R. L. Specht (Specht & Mountford, 1958: 2) as follows: 



Mainland opposite Groote Eylandt 



Chasm Island, off Groote Eylandt 



North West Bay, Groote Eylandt 



Winchelsea Island, off Groote Eylandt 



Bustard Island (?) 



Burney Island 



Morgan's Island, Blue Mud Bay 



Small bay to the south-west of Cape Shield 



Port Blane, Blue Mud Bay 

 4-6 February 1803 Caledon Bay 

 9 — Middle Point, Caledon Bay 



13 Melville Bay 



14 — Point Dundas, Melville Bay 



16 Islet near Drimmie Head, Melville Bay 



19 — 22 — Cotton's, Pobasso's and Astell's Islands, in Malay Road 



2—4 March 1803 Cape Newbald and parts of Arnhem Bay. 



The thoroughness of their collecting is attested by the large number 

 of species recorded by Specht (1958) from Arnhem Land for which 

 'R. Br.' stands as the author of the specific epithet, Brown having first 

 detected and named the species concerned. 



Willis (1959) has listed the 48 species collected by Brown in June 

 1802 and May 1803 on Middle Island, in the Recherche Archipelago (3), 

 Goose Island Bay. 



Brown was a competent zoologist as well as botanist. His zoological 

 notes and descriptions in the Department of Zoology, British Museum 

 (Natural History) reveal that he dissected and examined his zoological 

 material with the same zeal that he studied plants. From these it appears 

 that the duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) figured by 

 Bauer (cf. Stearn, 1960: fig. 3) was found at Port Jackson and the 

 Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) in woods near Hat Hill, New South 

 Wales. They deal with mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects (con- 

 cerning which, see Trans. Linnean Soc. London 12: 454 — 478; 1818) 

 and other invertebrates.
