Arriving at the end of May 1786 he completed a few short collecting trips with Scotsman Francis Masson and commisar Robert Jacob Gordon these becoming longer over the next few months, the itineraries being unknown. Scholl was left at the Cape when Boos left for the Mascarene Islands on 18 February 1787. He returned a year later with so much material that it could not be transported in a single consignment.
