John Lort Stokes (1812-85) was an officer on H.M.S. Beagle - the ship that had carried naturalist Charles Darwin. The ship's next commission was a survey of Australia, which lasted nearly six years, and Stokes published a two-volume account of it in 1846. Volume 1 covers exploration in north-west Australia.
