(a) General. [By this I mean botanists who collected in two or more Australian States or who did not confine their descriptive work to the plants of one State.

For instance, I have placed Allan Cunningham in the New South Wales list, as he was Superintendent of the Botanic Gardens here; nevertheless, he was an "Australian" botanist. I have excluded French botanists, as the expeditions of the French to Australia, particularly during the first half century of settlement, are so important that I propose to devote a special paper to them.]
