This is a doctoral thesis which I wrote at the Biohistorical Institute in 1978-79. My hope to understand the zoology contained in the Gordon Atlas led me to a variety of studies on other 18th century travellers to South Africa like Sparrman, Thunberg, Levaillant, Paterson, Masson etc. Without the guidance and encouragement by Dr Rob Visser during these months of study and writing, the work would not have been completed in time. There is only one original copy of this thesis, as it was typed on a typewriter, and this copy was bound at the university and handed to me. Photocopies exist, and the one in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is sometimes used. This is the first time that this early work of mine has become available more widely, for those who like Gordon and understand Dutch of course.
