NATURALISTS AND VOYAGERS MENTIONED xlvii 
FERNANDEZ, Juan (died 1576), Spanish navigator, appears to have 
been constantly employed as pilot off the coasts of South America. 
He discovered the islands bearing his name about 1572, and in 1576 
reported another large island or continent, which has not been 
identified. : 
Forureiit, John, M.D., F.B.S. (1712-80), was a Quaker, and the 
first graduate of Edinburgh to be admitted as a licentiate of the 
College of Physicians (1744). He was greatly interested in botany, 
and possessed a magnificent botanical garden at Upton, near Stratford, 
where he kept many draughtsmen. He also made large collections of 
shells and insects. His “ Hortus Uptonensis” was published amongst 
his “ Works” after his death in 1783-84. 
Friizimr, Amédée Francois (1682-1773), engineer and traveller, 
born at Chambéry, was descended from the Scotch Frasers. He was 
sent out by the French king in 1711 to examine the Spanish colonies 
in South America, and on his return in 1714 published his “ Relation 
d’un Voyage de la Mer du Sud aux cétes du Chili et du Pérou” 
(1716). He was afterwards Director of Fortifications of Brittany, and 
was the author of several works on architecture. 
Hassenquist, Fredrik (1722-52), Swedish naturalist and pupil of 
Linneus. He spent three years (1749-52) travelling in Palestine 
and Egypt, and made large collections of fishes, reptiles, insects, plants, 
and minerals, studying also Arab manuscripts, coins, and mummies. 
He died at Smyrna, and his collections passed into the hands of 
Linneus, who published Hasselquist’s journal and observations under 
the title of “Iter Palestinum” (1757).

Hutmg, Nathaniel, F.R.S. (1732-1807), was Physician to the 
Charter-house. 
Le Marre, Jacob (died 1616), Dutch navigator, left Holland in 
company with William Cornelissen Schouten (died 1625) in 1615, in 
the Concorde, with the view of determining the position of the southern 
point of South America, in defiance of the regulations of the Dutch 
East India Company, which attempted to close the routes to India, 
either by the Cape of Good Hope or the Straits of Magellan. Le 
Maire and Schouten discovered Staten Island and Cape Horn, which 
they doubled, and thence proceeded to Batavia, passing along the 
north-east coast of New Guinea. On their arrival at Batavia, their 
ship was seized and they were sent to Holland, but Le Maire died 
before reaching Europe. Schouten published an account of the 
voyage in 1618.
