Jabez Glover.
Glover was not appointed by Burke to the Expedition party; see M et al. to the Royal Society of Victoria, December 1860 (in this edition as 60-12-00).
In a letter of 23 June 1860 addressed ‘To the Honble Secretary of the Exploration Committee’, Jabez Glover applied to be on the staff of the expedition being planned that came to be known as the Burke and Wills Exploring Expedition, 1860-1. He named as his referees, the Chief Secretary and Dr Richard Tracy. In forwarding Tracy's letter, M annotated it: 'Memo: Referred to the hon. Secr of the Explor. Committee | 20/6/60. | Ferd. Mueller'. M made a mistake in the date, because both Glover's letter and Tracy's cover note are dated later than his memorandum.
