This paper attempts to document these aspects of Aus- tralian herpetological history, and also provides docu- mentation of the extant herpetological collections made on the Horn Expedition, updating the identifications provided in the HORN Expedition Report. 2. FOUR HERPETOLOGISTS Joseph James Fletcher () Although Fletcher was not directly associated in print with the Horn Expedition, he was an important cata- lyst, involved in turning LUCAS' thoughts to amphibians and reptiles and to field observations, and Spencer's thoughts to amphibian systematics and biogeography. Much of the detail of Fletcher's life is provided in o- bituaries by SPENCER (1927, including a photograph) and Ferguson (1927), a list of his publications (Anonymous 1929), and a subsequent memoir by Lu- cas (1930) (see also Walsh 1981 for a summary and additional shorter obituaries). Fletcher was born in Auckland, the son of a Methodist minister, Joseph Homer Fletcher, and arrived in Australia in 1860. His father was initially sent to Bris- bane and Ipswich, then in 1865 became President of Newington College, a recently-established Methodist school in Sydney (Macmillan 1963). Joseph Horner had some experience in this area, having previously es- tablished a Methodist college at Auckland. His son, Jo- seph James, was educated at Ipswich Grammar, New- ington, then at the University of Sydney, obtaining a.
