There is a story that the Naturalist Harry Butler used to tell. At one point during the 60's he was doing a job in the South West of Western Australia and he was bitten by one of the local venomous snakes so he applied first aid and presented himself to the local hospital to get the antivenene. As there are several antivenenes for different species he carefully described and identified the snake to the doctor so the correct antivenene could be selected. The doctor hurried off and came back some minutes later without the antivenene.
"I'm sorry there is a problem. We have to confirm the snake identification with an expert in Perth and they are not answering the phone."
"Who's the expert? I may know an alternative contact."
"A Dr. Butler."
