G'day John,
There is (was?) a publishing company called Whitcombe and Tombs which
operates(ed) out of New Zealand and Australia I think, and was certainly
involved in publishing natural history stuff. Try that in your search
engines. I did and got lots of hits but don't have time to look through
them fully...
