...easier there to feed the addiction that threatened to ruin him: collecting insects from the antipodes. In an exquisite introductory essay, Ashley Hay tells how Alexander's son William and nephew William John succumbed to the same mania, piling up butterflies and beetles, bats, gnats and bandicoots, corals and sea lilies, cuscuses and birds of paradise (William John led and paid for the colony's first scientific expedition to New Guinea), and a skull long thought to belong to a (mythical) bun-yip; it was actually a deformed foal...
