There is no record of the entrj' of this young Scotch gardener into Kew. 
He appears to have been in the employment of Earl Wemyss, 1796. In 
1796 he was selected from the Kew staff to proceed to Calcutta to bring 
home a collection of plants prepared bj’ Christopher Smith. He 
returned to Kew, where he filled the position of foreman until 1st 
March, 1801, when he was appointed botanical collector under Robert 
Brown,§ the botanist attached to Flinders’ vo^'age (H.M.S. “ Investi- 
gator ”), of surve}"^ of the coast of Australia, at a salarv of £100. 
Brown wrote to Banks, Port Jackson, 30th May, 1802,|| — 
lu Mr. P. Good I have a most valuable assistant, a more active man in his 
■department could hardly, I believe, have been met \-ith. 
Banks to Brown, 8th April, 1803,^ speaks of — 
Your able and (juiet assistant, Peter Good. His diligence and docilitj' have 
been before tried.
