Blackburn Petr Pyšek Order of Authors Secondary Information: Funding Information: The Czech Academy of Sciences Prof. Petr Pyšek (RVO67985939) Hlávka foundation Dr. Pavel Pipek Rector's Mobility Fund of the Charles Dr. Pavel Pipek University Abstract: New Zealand is home to around 40 alien bird species, but about 80 more were introduced in the 19th century and failed to establish. As most of these introductions were deliberate and documented in detail by the Acclimatisation Societies responsible for them, New Zealand bird invasions are often used as a model system to unravel what determines the outcome of introduction events, especially the role of propagule pressure. However, the credibility of these data was challenged recently, as different authors have reported different numbers of liberated birds. This discrepancy has several causes. Using introductions of Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis) and Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) as examples, we show that the most important issue is that not all liberated birds were imported from overseas, and so import records underestimate the total propagule pressure for particular regions. -

The Principal Time Balls of New Zealand
Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 20(1), 69±94 (2017). THE PRINCIPAL TIME BALLS OF NEW ZEALAND Roger Kinns School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract: Accurate time signals in New Zealand were important for navigation in the Pacific. Time balls at Wellington and Lyttelton were noted in the 1880 Admiralty list of time signals, with later addition of Otago. The time ball service at Wellington started in March 1864 using the first official observatory in New Zealand, but there was no Wellington time ball service during a long period of waterfront redevelopment during the 1880s. The time ball service restarted in November 1888 at a different harbour location. The original mechanical apparatus was used with a new ball, but the system was destroyed by fire in March 1909 and was never replaced. Instead, a time light service was inaugurated in 1912. The service at Lyttelton, near Christchurch, began in December 1876 after construction of the signal station there. It used telegraph signals from Wellington to regulate the time ball. By the end of 1909, it was the only official time ball in New Zealand, providing a service that lasted until 1934. The Lyttelton time ball tower was an iconic landmark in New Zealand that had been carefully restored. Tragically, the tower collapsed in the 2011 earthquakes and aftershocks that devastated Christchurch. An Otago daily time ball service at Port Chalmers, near Dunedin, started in June 1867, initially using local observatory facilities. The service appears to have been discontinued in October 1877, but was re-established in April 1882 as a weekly service, with control by telegraph from Wellington. -

Research Report 3: Waimata River Sheridan Gundry
TE AWAROA: RESTORING NEW ZEALAND RIVERS RESEARCH REPORT 3: WAIMATA RIVER SHERIDAN GUNDRY THE WAIMATA RIVER: SETTLER HISTORY POST 1880 The Waimata River – Settler History post 1880 Sheridan Gundry, Te Awaroa Project Report No. 3 Land within the Waimata River catchment, comprising about 220 square kilometres1, began to be available for purchase after the passing of the Native Lands Act 1865 and subsequent land surveys and issuing of legal Crown title. The lower reaches of the Waimata River – including parts of the Kaiti, Whataupoko and Pouawa blocks – were the first to go into European ownership from around 1880, when John and Thomas Holden bought the 7000 acre Rimuroa block; the Hansen brothers bought about 8000 acres comprising Horoeka, Maka and Weka; Bennet bought the 1100 acre Kanuka block; and Charles Gray, the Waiohika block. The next year, in 1881, the Kenway brothers bought the 3000-acre Te Pahi further upriver. The Kenways gave the property the name Te Pahi, meaning The End, because at the time it was at the end of the road with nothing beyond.2 This soon changed with further purchases of Maori land beyond Te Pahi continuing through to the late 1890s. Further land became available in the south, east and north Waimata with the New Zealand Native Land Settlement Company offering about 20,000 acres for sale in late 1882. The blocks “conveyed to the company” were approved by the Trust Commissioner and titles were to be registered under the Land Transfer Act.3 The areas involved were Waimata South, 9,555; Waimata East, 4,966; Waimata North, 4,828. -
Summer Scenes and Flowers: the Beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas Card, 1880-1882
Summer Scenes and Flowers: The Beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas Card, 1880-1882 Peter Gilderdale Keywords: #Christmas traditions #card sending #New Zealand identity #cultural colonisation #photography In October 1883, just as New Zealanders began the annual ritual of buying seasonal tokens of esteem to post overseas, Dunedin’s Evening Star, quoting local photographers the Burton Brothers, posed a question that had exercised immigrants for some years. “Does it not seem folly,” the paper asked “to send back to the Old Country Christmas cards which were manufactured there and exported hither?”1 This was a rhetorical question and the Evening Star went on to respond that “a few years since we should have replied ‘No’; but in view of the experiences of the last two years we say most decidedly, ‘Yes, it is folly.’” The newspaper, clearly, saw the period of 1881 and 1882 as pivotal in the establishment of a small but important industry, the New Zealand Christmas card business.2 My paper examines why these years are significant and what lies behind the debate, identifying a number of early cards and documenting the accompanying developments, primarily via the lens of newspaper advertising. The 1880s Christmas card may not have been an industry on the scale of lamb, but what it lacked in bulk it made up for in symbolism, providing a discrete window into the web of entangled emotional, commercial and design imperatives that attended the way immigrants imagined and constructed this important cultural celebration. 5 For European immigrants to New Zealand, now as well as then, the This newly reframed Christmas provides the context within move to the other side of the world has an unwelcome side-effect. -
