Drummond l€tters known to have been prepublished in Western Australian newspapers During his time as the Australian Botanical Liaison Officer in Kew in 1992, Dr Philip Short of the National Herbarium of Victoda found evidencesuggesting that the first p\blication of Hakea yictoria by JamesDrummond was probably not, as has always been thought, in an English journal produced by William Hooker in 1848, but was almost certainly within the Western Australian newspaperThe Inquirer, probably in 1847. Since the author is part of a project to revise the genus Hakea, along wrthL. Haegi and W.R. Barker of the sameinstitution, this was drawn to our attention. This promptedthe cun€nt investigation,and so a copy of the completetext ofthe JamesDrummond letter pdnted in The Inquirer in 1847 was obtainedftom the Baftye Library in Perth. A very much abddged part of it appearedin Botanical Magazine 74 Companion pp. l-3 (Drummond 1848) as "Notice of Mr. Drummond's discoverv of three remarkableplants in South-WestAustralia". This latter publication has alwaysbeen cited as containingthe protologuefor l1dkea victoriabut The Inquirer articleclearly predatesit (Principle III, IntemationalRules of Botanical Nomenclature, Greuter et al. 1994). Names published in a non-scientific newspaperbelbre January 1, 1953 are effectively and validly published (Art. 29, International Code of Botanical Nomenclature). As a consequenceother nameswhich appearin this samearticle are also validly published(provided they areaccompanied by an adequatedescription) and should be consideredby botanistsrevising the groups concerned(e.g. Kingia C!gnorum, AnigozonthusChelneii, BanksiaHookeri, lambertia Hakeoides), mosl appearto be synonymsof earliernames. Becauseit was obvious from referencesgiven in Erickson (1969) that other letters written by Drummond had also found their way to the newspapersin Perth,copies of Drummond articlesin Z/re Inquirer of 6thDecember 1848 and in The Perth Gazetteover 5 weeksfrom 16th April to 14th May 1852, were also requestedftom the Battye Library. These articles were fbund to corespond to accountsreproduced in Hooker's journals asshown in Table 1. Unlike the original case,these a icles were not abridgedbut reproducedby Hooker in full. However, becauseofthe earlierpublication of the newspaperaccounts, two species,Gastrolobium leqkeanumand Verttcordia grqndis, previouslythought to havebeen published originally in Hooker's Journalof Botanyand Kew GardensMiscellany (Vol. l, p.247 in 1849and Vol. 5, p. 119 in 1853, respectively;see Barker & Barker 1990), should now be cited as follows: Gastrolobium leakeqnumJ. Drumm., The Inquirer, without page number (6 December 1848) Verticordia grandis J- Drumm., The Perth Gazette,withort page number (23 April 1852) The list of Drummond letters published in newspapers,and their subsequentpublication by Hooker, given in Table l, should not be consideredto be exhaustive. Other Drummond letters with botanical nameswere publishedby Hooker (Barker & Barker l.c.) and thesetoo may be predatedby newspaperarticles. _l ., ,reu €lrnDeJ€ sleqlo eq] 'Jglrpuolos g u,rou{ ellrl eqt.{lqeqord sr arsT?lr€'eqJ slruruer s.puoruunrq JhlJo sseutcouoc eql ol fuourrtset.rvaq puu spu€q Jno peqc€eJe^€q pacrtou areq queld eelql eqt Jo suerurcads l elqoN,, luqt pecnporde:eq elcnre eqt;o pue eqt tB pelou re1oo11ecurs puelSug qc€eJprp suelurceds eqJ leuelcu.rIN eql qtr^\ petunou st ) ut uerurcedspet"^qlnr € uro4 Jual B ltql tcEJeqt ,{q ue^l8 sl{Joeq} srqt.roJuoddng ec:nos peesE su posnuoeq 1p e,ruq,{euruottcelloc eql pue s1n4 urutuoc plp tnq uo4cellot lo eruq aql lu Burre,nolJ)ousEM oqop!^ H u,{\oulun sr uorlcelloc snordoceql ot peuaddeqpq,t 1sn1 e^r^JnsIlrls AN ur unrJ€qleq s.Jousratrl ur lueu8er; e pue (1rn.rJpu€ IEal elSutsu) 'ueurrceds lgyq ur uerurcads€,tluo'lo^o^\oH eqct6 edu3 o1,(e,r,r eql IIE pusq srq ur'q8tq teeg71 euo perJJ"cpuorurunrq asec,{ue ur pue ^loleq peqrrasap{cBq s,esroqeq1 uo dul llncgJrp eql pe^r^lns 'ur€teJ 'sJeqrJrsqns 'ectlcerd ,{lq€urnsaJdfaql ol euo puEre{ooH roJouo tI srqJoJ q?noue l€uuousrq sc^\sv e r ouopl^ oary;7;o sdol Surreeq-tcBrq9I petcelloceq t€ql eprlc eqt ur setBtspuotuunJ(I suollJalloJ 'g7gy 3e61og 3 a 'elq€tsre1oog eqt uIo:; sercedseq1;o slunocce leqlo ur pu" uotlcnpo.lde.r.le1oo11 aql uI sE IIe,,!lse elctuu pur8rro aqt ur ..ottojJ!^,, ,tl:ea1csr 8urlleds aqJ- .pt)t.tojJ1^,,Buqleds eqt suleluot oslu lunocJEJeq ecurs'rore crqd€JSorluoue,(lqerunserd st (696t) uos{aug Kq,,aototJ1,r,, '086I SulltedsoqJ 996I pJeeg .reupJpg 3e',{Jntuer snll Jo ged relpue eq1ur slsru€loquerT€ISnV '(0/8 ',,aouotc!^,, ure1sa16,{qpe.,r,rolloJ I ) rueqtuag,tq uaql pu€ (Z9gt) rausra4 ,{q ,{psrrgflqeqo:d sBpetlc ,{lluenbag sB,tr11 leqlrdecrgrceds eqt;o 3u111edseql lelo uorsnJuoaeuos ueaqs€q 3reqJ 3ulIIadS 'eJeqpessncsrp eq plnoqs '1y91 sarcedssrql Suru:ecuoas.rallPru reqlo o,rdt lrdy 11 pelepJ lnbul aqJ sEpeqsr lqulso uaaq 3ur^Eq ''ljJrunJ(Jolto|Jlt ',{Inbua oa?41 srqlJo lcefqnspurSuo aqt Jo uoD"ctlqndIo elep puu ecrld aq1 'IrrIJrIIg'f mJopt^ DaIDH 'auazD) (€981)t8I-81.I :S csrt{ prec,re) log I s.re{ooH Z98l ,{EI I tI quad aqJ 'atLazq) (ts8l) ItI-gtI :9 csrt{ p.Iec,re) log I s.re{ooH Z98I ,ttw / q|nd aqJ (gs8l) €'I-6EI :9 csrw pr"C^\e) log I s,re{ooH Z98I IIrdV 0E'a abg quad aLU 'f (€98I) ZZI-8II :9 csrIAIprEC,re) rofi s.r3{ooH ZS8I llrdv EZ'atiazogquad aLlJ .[ 'aJDzDD (998I)8iI-SII :S csrtrt prpc,ra) log s.]3looH Z98I IIIdV gl quad aqJ 'rarlnbul l6v8l) IgZ-LlZ:l .srt{'PIEC,re) log I s.re{ooH 8t8I Jequrecec9 aqJ 'p4 'ratrnbut (8t8 | ) f- | dd uorueduo3 3e11rog ,t8I IFdV ,l aqJ peqsllqndlop ,t8I lldy L'ra nbut aqJ pu.rnoI s,:e4oog aprlru .raduds,nap 're>1oo11,{qpecnporder salcr1re(JeluD Surpuodserroc Jreqt qlr^\ steuel s,puounuuq Jo suoqcnpo:du :eduds,ne511 e1qel I stunoaarrod?ds^1eus.puoruuuc sauel'Ja{Jeg I4l }I NuytsiaVol.11, No. 1 (1996) Drummond's account of his 4th Collection Since the original text is not easily accessible and is probably of interest to naturalists in general it has been reproduced in full here with those parts published by Hooker in bold face. Excerpts of parts of The Inquirer article were reproduced by Erickson (1969) in her account of the life of James Drummond, but most botanical references were missing. There are also comments on the botany of a number of groups of plants, on geology and on the itinerary followed. It is, however, only a very succinct account considedng that Drummond collected 16 sets of 400 species in this the 4th Collection and that it lasted at least from November 1846, when James Drummond and George Maxwell departed Gingin, to late March 1847 when they returned to Perth (Erickson 1969]. The Inquirer 7th Lpril 1847 Mr Drummond's Journal. - As we anticipated,Mr Drummond, with his usual courtesy and anxiety to diffuse information, has directed that the letter which he is about to transmit to Sir W.J.Hooker should, on its way, bc placedin the handsol The Inquirer,if desired.We needhardly saythat we gladly availedourselves of the offer, and we make no apology for publishing, entire a documentso full ofinterest to the lovers ofscience, and so well calculatedto maintain the high characterof Mr Drummond: Dear Sir, - I wrote to you about two months since to say that I had set out on ajourney to the south, wishing to extend my observationson the botany of this colony from its farthestnorth to its farthest south settlements.I visited Gingin, a farm of Mr.
