Not to detract from the excellent work presented here, and I would note that the 1905-06 Galapagos expedition was not the second Webster-Harris expedition, it was purely under the sponsorship of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. See PDF of my paper listed here under September 15, 2010, Supplement II, paper #12:
