Public Service, but re-entered it on 1st July, 1883, as Police 
Magistrate and Olerk of Petty Sessions at Bullahdelah, 
holding also the position of Mining Warden. On the 1st 
December, 1885, his head quarters were transferred from 
Bullahdelah to Stroud. He held the position of Police 
Magistrate at the last named town (visiting Bullahdelah, 
Bungwall, Forster, and Tea Gardens) with, in addition 
from 1st July, 1887, the offices of Clerk of Petty Sessions 
and Crown Lands Agent, till the date of his death. The 
above particulars have been obligingly forwarded to me 
by Mr. J. L. Williams, Under Secretary of the Department 
of the Attorney General and of Justice. He collected 
botanical specimens for Baron von Mueller, particularly 
when in the Richmond River district. Part of his herbarium 
is in the National Herbarium, Sydney, presented by Mrs. 
Coleman (1905) widow of Mr. Coleman, M.P. for Lismore. 
The following plants commemorate him:— 
Cylicodaphne Fawcettiana, F.v.M. = Tetranthera reticulata,

Sent plants to Hooker. Jackson 400, Proc. Linn. Soc., i, 
298; Exotic Flora, t. 222. Dict. Nat. Biog. xviii, 399. 
The above particulars are taken from (1). The most signal 
service he performed for Australian botanisst consists in 
the publication of his ‘‘ Geographical Memoirs on New 
South Wales etc.’’ (London, 1825). He thus saved some 
valuable papers read before the Philosophical Society of 
Australia, more than one of which is of value to the botanist. 
He is commemorated in the genera Fieldia, Gaud.= Vanda, 
and Fieldia, A. Cunn. Colla wished to commemorate his 
memory in Cassia Barrenfieldii, afterwards corrected to 
Cassia Fieldii, Colla=C. australis, Sims.
