On graduation, he taught at Wesley Col- lege in Melbourne, simultaneously reading for an , before departing for London in 1876 on receipt of his second degree. In London, he worked in Thomas Huxley's laboratory, and gained a second Bachelor's degree, a from the University of London, as Australian universities did not offer Science degrees at the time. During this period, he was invited to spend three months at Cambridge, work- ing on embryology with Francis Maitland Balfour, where he met the biologist Arthur Milnes Marshall. While in England, he published a single paper, co- authored with Joseph Jackson Lister, on marsupial genital anatomy (Lister & Fletcher 1882), and began to compile a bibliography on Australian marsupials and monotremes. On returning to Australia, he taught at Newington (still under his father's presidency) from 1881-1885, during which period he was acting headmaster for a short pe- riod in 1883/84. While teaching, he continued his re- search on marsupial anatomy (Fletcher 1882, 1883a, 1883b), and completed his bibliography (Fletcher 1884). In 1885, he was offered an administrative posi- tion as Director and Librarian of the Linnean Society of New South Wales by the Society's founder and benefac- tor, William John Macleay, and left teaching, begin- ning his new career in 1886. He remained with the Lin- nean Society of New South Wales until 1919, although his title later changed to Secretary.
