I've separately sent Justin a copy of an article which might provide the
answers he wants. If anyone else is interested in this, John Calaby
wrote a good article for Historical Records of Australian Science, which
was published just after he died, titled The European discovery and
scientific description of Australian birds. It includes some notes on
collecting expeditions. (Historical Records of Australian Science, 1999,
12(3): p313-329).
Most uni and state libraries, and some public libraries, will have this
article online in the APA-FT database. For copyright reasons I can't
post the article to the list.

Subject: Australian Explorers 1850-1900
Dear all,
I'm currently researching thru Dutch skin collections, and I come across
several birds collected in Australia. These all came by a auctioneer G A
Frank
from Amsterdam. Could some-one give me an overview ore where I can find
an
overview about bird colletioners trips into Australia roughly between
1850-1900. For
example who collected in 1870 at Cape York? Any help would be very much
appriciated.
Kind regards,
Justin Jansen
