“…Several doctors investigated the bacteriology of the air, soil, sea and animals of this new continent. 3 McLean also did such bacteriology and was the first to undertake any human bacteriology, in that, as well as investigating the microbiology of seal wounds, he examined pus from infections in expedition members and the changes in normal bacterial flora in the Antarctic over time. He also brought back some live cultures for further study in Australia.…”

Archibald McLean qualified in Sydney in 1910 and in the following year joined Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-1914). He took a full part in the expedition and was forced to stay an extra year when Mawson failed to return to the base before the ship left. During this time he edited the expedition newspaper, The Adelie Blizzard. His writing impressed Mawson who invited him to work on the book about the expedition. This necessitated visiting England to liaise with publishers and promote the book. He was in England when the First World War broke out and he was commissioned in the RAMC and sent to France. He was invalided out of the army in 1916 and returned to Australia where he obtained his MD for his research in the Antarctic. Then he joined the Australian Army Medical Corps and returned to France where he won the Military Cross and he also suffered gassing. During the war, he developed TB and was unwell when he returned to Australia.

This Bibliography is of material related to the history of science in Australia, in particular the natural sciences (mathematics, physical sciences, earth sciences and biological sciences), some of the applied sciences (including medical and health sciences, agriculture and related subjects, and engineering), and human sciences (anthropology and psychology). In addition to Australia, other areas included are New Zealand, New Guinea and other Pacific Ocean islands close to Australia, and Antarctica. Biographical material is also included. The sources used in compiling this Bibliography include those that have proved useful in the past in finding relevant citations. More than 200 journals were scanned for relevant articles. The library catalogues of the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga O Aotearoa, the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the University of Melbourne were particularly useful sources of information. Assistance has been received from several people who sent items or information about recently published items for inclusion in the Bibliography. In particular Professor Rod Home has been most helpful in forwarding relevant citations. Staff of the eScholarship Research Centre at the University of Melbourne, especially Helen Morgan and Ailie Smith, were of great assistance in the preparation of this Bibliography. Readers are invited to continue to send information on the publication of books, journal articles, conference papers, reports, Master's and PhD theses and reviews for inclusion in future bibliographies A. History of Australian Science (a) General 1.
