作者：AH CHISHOLM，伦敦。今年4月，当我准备离开澳大利亚去英国访问时，有人建议我努力寻找与约翰·古尔德有关的材料，以纪念他抵达澳大利亚一百周年。这一努力是通过给《泰晤士报》的一封信进行的，结果出乎意料地卓有成效。记者提供的消息是不可靠的！但这封信使我接触到了古尔德唯一的外孙埃德尔斯滕太太，并通过她接触到了她的两个儿子——杰弗里博士和艾伦·厄勒博士。他们之间提供了“大量有趣的材料”。在汉普郡的一个村庄，后来又在萨默塞特郡的一个村庄，发现了与100年前澳大利亚有关的文件，这是一种独特的经历。很奇怪，古尔德在汉普郡的曾孙住在离格雷戈里·马修斯家只有几英里的地方（他们彼此不认识），而萨默塞特的曾孙虽然出生在伦敦，但离古尔德的出生地多塞特的莱姆·里吉斯只有几英里。
By AH CHISHOLM, London. When I was about to leave Australia in April on a visit to Britain, it was suggested that an effort be made to discover material relating to John Gould, for use in respect of the centenary of his arrival in Australia. The effort was made through a letter to the Times, and it proved unexpectedly fruitful. Information furnished by correspondents was of no!: ipecial account, but the letter brought me into touch with Gould's sole grandchild, Mrs. Edelsten, and, through her, with her two som, Dr. Geoffrey and Dr. Alan Erleh; tcn, and between them a"\Vealth of interesting material was provided.It was a singular experience to sit in a village in Hampshire, and later in a village in Somerset, and uncover documents relating to Australia of 100 years ago. Incidentall~'it was curious to find that the Hampshire great-grandson of Gould lives only a few miles from the home of Gregory Mathews (they do not know each other), and that the Somerset great-grandson, although born in London, lives only a few miles from Gould's birthplace, Lyme Regis, in Dorset.
