Abstract
This paper reconstructs aspects of the pioneering botanical expedition of Edward Ernest Galpin (1858–1941) accompanied by his wife, Marie Elizabeth Galpin (1859–1933), to the highland areas of the Eastern Cape Drakensberg in 1904. Details of the route, organization and logistics of Galpin's journey are described as well as a discursive record of his main botanical discoveries.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Natural History (formerly the Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History) publishes peer-reviewed papers on the history and bibliography of natural history in its broadest sense, and in all periods and all cultures. This is taken to include botany, general biology, geology, palaeontology and zoology, the lives of naturalists, their publications, correspondence and collections, and the institutions and societies to which they belong. Bibliographical papers concerned with the study of rare books, manuscripts and illustrative material, and analytical and enumerative bibliographies are also published.
