BAKER. John. R.
Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides.
25 pages. Plus photographic plates and a fold-out colour map. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. A fascinating travel expedition account of the tropical Pacific islands designated the 'New Hebrides.' The Oxford University Scientific Expedition's two-fold remit was to ascend and survey the region's highest mountain and to study the breeding seasons of a selection of the area's indigenous animals. Having designated Santo Peak as the region's highest mountain, the party performed various reconaissance surveys, took barometer and odometer readings, made a collection of insects despite the heavy rain as well as a good collection of plants, featured among them several orchid species - and provided a description of its summit. Having selected five animals (the parrot, lizard, fruit-bat, insectivorous bat and the passerine bird) for a detailed study of breeding seasons, various observations were recorded. Features detail of the local Sakau people and appendices relating to exploration of the Tawoli river, the birds of Espiritu Santo, survey equipment employed and regional geology.

Bank of South Australia
Two early items associated with the Bank of South Australia are offered together. 1 A manuscript personal promissory note 90 x 167 mm dated Adelaide 24 October 1840 - 'Three months after date pay to my order Thirty Pounds value received. F.W. Allen. To C.W. Stuart Esqre'. Stuart has written across it 'Accepted Payable at the Bank of South Australia'. It was subsequently stamped by the Bank of South Australia Adelaide when it was paid on 27 January 1841. The verso is endorsed by F.W. Allen C. Crispe and 'For the Bank of South Australia Edwd Stephens Manager'. Apart from two vertical creases and a tiny spike hole it is in fine condition. 2 A printed Bank of South Australia cheque 80 x 180 mm printed by Batho and Bingley London with manuscript insertions - 11 February 1841 from C.W. Stuart to Harry Lechahdee for 3 pounds. A bank stamp on it indicates it was paid out in Adelaide on 15 February 1841. It is endorsed on the verso by Robert Champlay an indecipherable signat
Edward Stephens 1811-1861 was appointed cashier and accountant of the South Australian Company in 1836; he arrived in the 'Coromandel' on 17 January 1837 at Holdfast Bay. 'There he set up his office in a tent but at first business was slight. He was induced to sign a letter to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh asking for a public meeting to reconsider the site of Adelaide. Although in February the meeting decided in favour of Colonel William Light's choice Stephens did not hesitate to buy eight city acres 3.2 ha when they were auctioned and later became very friendly with Light. Stephens fell foul of Hindmarsh and was rebuked by George Fife Angas for dabbling in politics' Australian Dictionary of Biography. In 1840 he became the Adelaide manager of the Bank of South Australia. Charles William Stuart ~1811-1891 arrived in the colony in 1836 and became Acting Police Commissioner during Alexander Tolmer's extended absences on overland gold escort duties in 1852-53. Tolmer's dismissal in November 1853 was in part due to his involvement 'in demeaning disputes with his subordinates' not least Stuart. Frederick William Allen 1813-1850 arrived on the 'Buffalo' and became a publican. Clement Crispe ~1804-1857 arrived in 1837 on the 'John Renwick' and was a butcher and farmer. Robert Champlay was married in Adelaide on 30 January 1840. Most of the biographical details have come from the 'Biographical Index of South Australians 1836-1885'. We have not yet traced Harry - there are some intriguing possibilities. unknown
