Presumably this is the Rev. J. Fleming mentioned in Stephens (1828) p.172, as the captor of Blemus paludosus in Zetland. He appears to have been friendly with Andrew Murray and perhaps accompanied him on collecting trips, for Murray, A. (1853) p.vii, states: ‘Prof. Fleming of the Free Church College, Edinburgh... and myself have more particularly worked out Fife, Perth, Kinross and Clackmannan’. Gilbert,P.(1977) mentions an account of Fleming by A. Bryson in Trans.R.Soc.Edinburgh, 22, 1861, pp.655-680 which I have not seen. (MD 12/02)
