The publication of Admiral Ritchie's E. G. R. Taylor Lecture (Journal, 20, 1) brings into perspective so many names familiar to the practising navigator; indeed the achievements of these great men are surveyed and charted with great clarity. Captain Flinders receives mention only in passing and his initial surveys of the greater part of Australia do not appear on the summary diagram. Yet, in other contexts, his ship, his mentor and his kinsmen all obtain special mention.
