In 1881 Forbes proposed an expedition to Timor Laut, a group of islands in the Banda Sea between the Aru Islands and Timor. After some delays, he visited the islands in 1882. The papers document the interest of various British scientific expeditions in the expedition, the financial grant made to Forbes by the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and disputes about the ownership and distribution of the natural history and ethnological collections assembled by Forbes. The papers include correspondence, memoranda, minutes and notes of meetings, financial papers, reports, newspaper cuttings, lists of plants and published papers by Forbes and others about the expedition. In particular, there are reports of a committee of the British Association set up to liaise with Forbes. Its members were P.L. Sclater, Howard Saunders and W.T. Thiselton-Dyer...

It contains lengthy descriptions of the botany of both settlements, as well as the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, which Hooker first visited in August 1840. The expedition left Hobart in November 1840 and the entries are relatively brief until April 1841, after it had reached the Antarctic. The most detailed sections in the later part of the journal relate to Hooker's time at Sydney and the Bay of Islands (Sept.-Nov. 1841) and the visit of HMS Erebus to the Falkland Islands, the Hermite Islands and the South Shetland Islands in 1842.
