Private Papers of J.B ___________________________________________________________________ CLELAND, J.B. (John Burton) PRG 5 Series List John Burton Cleland (1878-1971), son of William Lennox Cleland, Resident Medical Officer at the Parkside Lunatic Asylum, was Government Microbiologist in Sydney in 1909-1920, where he made a significant contribution to experimental epidemiology, and Marks Professor of Pathology at the University of Adelaide 1920-1948, during which time he methodically collected the results of more than 7,000 autopsies conducted by him at the Royal Adelaide and Repatriation Hospitals, and was recognised for his expertise in macroscopic and microscopic pathology. From his youth, J.B. Cleland showed great interest in natural history, particularly fungi, and in later years this interest continued and extended to the fields of ornithology, anthropology, and wildlife conservation. He was also particularly interested in Cleland family genealogy, and amassed considerable material on Cleland ancestors for the history ‘The Ancient Family of Cleland’, published in 1905. J.B. Cleland’s contribution to medicine and natural history was widely recognised, and he received many honours during his life time, including a knighthood in 1964, and the naming after him of Cleland Wildlife Reserve (later Cleland National Park) in 1967. He was a member of the Royal Society of South Australia for 75 years and of the National Park Commission from 1927-1969, and was active on the (South Australian) Aboriginal Affairs Board and the Board of Anthropological Research at the University of Adelaide for many years. Each of these interests is reflected in the J.B. Cleland papers (1626-1971), which contain a large volume of correspondence (including letters from some of the most eminent pathologists, biologists and anthropologists of the time), notes and manuscript articles on medical, natural history and anthropological subjects (series 15-20), and genealogy (series 26-34), covering almost the whole span of J.B. Cleland’s long and active life. The collection also includes many photographs of Cleland family members, photographs of historical importance taken on various expeditions, ca.1907-1957, and the private papers of J.B. Cleland, his wife Dora Isabel Cleland (nee Paton) and their children. A more detailed appreciation of J.B. Cleland may be found in the Royal Society of South Australia obituary of 1971, of which there are copies in series 14. ___________________________________________________________________ Private papers of J.B.

The series is intended for university students and interested amateurs, as well as professional mycologists. Volume 1A is one of two introductory volumes to the series. The major component of the volume is a discussion on the classification of the fungi, including a new classification, and keys to orders of worldwide scope. The volume also contains a chapter on the biology of the fungi, chapters on the Australian aspects of the history of mycology, biogeography and the fossil record, and an extensive glossary to mycological terms.

  • History of Botany in South Australia (1800-1955)
    13 HISTORY OF BOTANY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA (1800-1955) by D. N. Kraehenbuehl \, MARITIME EXPLORATION One of the intriguing and unresolved mysteries of Australian maritime history is whether Peter Nuyts or any of his Dutch colleagues on board the "Gulden Zeepaard" ever collected natural history specimens at their landfalls along the southern Australian continent. We know from the map of Australia's southern coast, after Hessel Gerritsz (1628), and reproduced in Sharp (1963), that a landfall was made on St Francis Island in the Nuyts Archipelago, probably in the early summer of 1627. Regrettably no log or manuscripts of this great voyage of discovery has ever been discovered, so the honour of the first European collector of plants along the South Australian coast must be accredited to Robert Brown on board the "Inves­ tigator", commanded by Captain Matthew Flinders. (See Halls 1971.) RobertBrown (1773-1858) is widely acknowledged as the doyen of British botanists to collect in Australia during the first half of the 19th Century. He was one of an august band of scientists and naturalists including Ferdinand Bauer (see Britten 1909 & Steam 1960), William Westall (see Perry & Simpson 1962) and Peter Good who accompanied Hinders on his historic visit to South Australian waters from January to April, 1802. Robert Brown's first South Australian collections were made at Fowler Bay on January 29, 1802. Throughout the month of February he botanised on the islands of Nuyts Archipelago (Feb. 3), on Flinders Island (Feb. 13) and the Sir Joseph Banks Group (March 7). Some time was spent around the southern shores ofEyre Peninsula at the famous collecting sites ofPort Lincoln (Feb.

During 1948, two anthropologists, an archaeologist, four biological scientists and three health and nutrition experts, with two photographers and three support staff, spent eight months studying the ecology of this infertile, monsoonal landscape to learn how the present-day Aborigines who had arrived between 3500 and 5000 years ago - displacing the first hunter-gatherers, the Mimi, who arrived some 53,000 to 60,000 years before - were able to survive throughout the year. The Gondwanan origins of the heathy flora of the sandstones, the grassy eucalypt forests and woodlands on the lateritic earths, the monsoonal rainforests, the wetland and coastal plant communities -with vegetation structures similar to those in southern Australia - inspired long-term research on the physico-chemical processes (aerodynamic, water relations and mineral nutrition) that determine the structure, growth and biodiversity of plant formations throughout Australia.
