  James Hector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir James Hector (March 16, 1834–November 06, 1907) was a Scottish geologist, naturalist, and surgeon who accompanied the Palliser Expedition as a surgeon and geologue.
James wrote about the expedition in his diary and here is a passage from it: "In attempting to recatch my own horse, which had strayed off while we were engaged with the one in the water, he kicked me in the chest".
Hector was awarded the Clarke Medal by the Royal Society of New South Wales in 1887.

 DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
James Hector was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 16 March 1834, the son of Alexander Hector, conveyancer and Writer to the Signet, and his wife, Margaret Macrosty.
Hector was educated in Edinburgh, graduating in medicine from the University of Edinburgh in 1856, having taken lectures in botany and zoology, and apparently having gained some training in geology.
Hector was the only scientist of standing in government service, so it was not surprising that other small scientific and quasi-scientific bodies, established in response to the needs of a developing country reliant on its natural resources, were placed under his control.

 Geological Society of New Zealand Branches
James Hector was a pioneer explorer, geologist, and natural scientist who founded many of New Zealand's scientific organisations.
Hector believed that reconnaissance surveys should include all facets of science, and he assembled a small group of staff, who stayed with him for many years: William Skey to analyse rocks and minerals, John Buchanan as draftsman and botanical artist, and Richard Gore as clerk and meteorological observer.
Hector published 45 scientific papers in the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute on geology, botany and zoology, and produced catalogues of material in the Colonial Museum and Library.

During the heroic phase of his life, Hector was shy and self-conscious, “averse to premature conclusions only partly unfolded”, and his reports on the Otago survey are but brief commentary on the achievement represented by his unpublished geological map.
