of his movements and the localities and dates of such an eminent 
collector are of a degree of importance which can only be fully 
appreciated by the botanist.* Following are some of the localities 
visited by him on the south coast of Australia, with the names quoted 
by him on his specimen-labels. 
Flinders’ Terra Australis ” makes a number of allusions to the places 
where the “ botanical gentlemen ” collected, and I have already 
(page 102) quoted Brown’s general statement. 
Bay If— “ 4 days.” (Lucky Bay.) 
Bay II. — Goose Island Bay. 
Bay III. — Fowler’s Bay, “ a few hours.” Memory Cove, 3 days.J 
Bay X. — Port Lincoln, 7 days. 
Inlet XII^. — An anchorage on Kangaroo Island, 3 days. 
Inlet XIV. — Gulf of St. Vincent, a few hours. 
Kangaroo Island, l| 5 days.

Port Phillip, 0 days. 
Flinders, in a letter to the Admiralty, dated 11th May, 1802,^ gives 
a list of the principal positions on the south coast where the “ Investi- 
gator ” anchored. Doubtless botanical collections were made at every 
anchorage : — 
Xo. 1. — A small bay** on the main, within D’Entrecasteaux’ 
Archipelago, affording shelter and water sometimes. Lat. 
34° S.; long., 122° 23' E. 
Xote . — A smaller bay lies 1J° west of this, which affords 
more complete shelter, and also wood and water. 
Xo. 2. — Goose Island Bay, in the same archipelago, 4 or 5 miles 
from the main, affording shelter and wood and water some- 
times. There is a lake here containing much salt. Lat. 
34° 5' S.; long. 123° 19' E. 
Xo. 3. — A baytt, in the main affording shelter from all winds, 
those at S.E. e.xcepted. Lat. 32° S.; long. 132° 39' E. 
• Brown quotes a number of his collecting places, Higt. Rec., iv, 77S. 
t There is a Bay I, which is King George’s Sound. See Hist. Rec., v, 181, but this is apparently 
Lucky Bay, Hist. Rec., iv, 748 and 750.

II On March 22 and 23, 1802, Brown was on shore at Kangaroo Head (near the modern Hog 
Bay) ; .\pril 2-5, 1802, on shore at Kangaroo Head, boat excursion to .\merican River and Pelican 
Lagoon, ascended Prospect Hill, situated on the isthm,us connecting Dudley Penirtsula with the 
main mass of the island. The collection was derived almost entirely from the littoral tracts 
and he could not have seen the characteristic inland flora. iProc. Roy. Soc. S.A., vi, 131 (1882-3).
