Lots, clockwise from top left: 515 Throughout this time he collaborated as a respected colleague with New Zealand’s (map), 521, 315, 313, 513, 507, foremost men of science, naturalists and museum directors of his era. 512, 510, 514, 518, 522, 520, 516, 519, 517 From an early age he developed a “hands on” approach to all his interests and corresponded with other experts including Sir Walter Buller regarding his rediscovery Rear cover: of the Little Black Shag and other species which were later included in Buller’s 1905 Lot 11 Supplement. New Zealand’s many off shore islands fascinated him and in the summer of 1903-04 he spent nearly six weeks on Taranga (Hen Island), the first of several visits. He also visited Little Barrier in 1928, the Kermadecs with Guthrie Smith in 1929 and in 1932 travelled on an expedition to Melanesia. The garden of his St Heliers home hosted superb examples of the Poor Knight’s Lily (Xeronema) in addition to other rare botanical species. When Sir Robert Falla named a newly discovered species of petrel (Pterodroma pycrofti) it was in recognition of Arthur Pycroft’s long service to ornithology and his organisation of the expedition to Hen Island where the birds had been discovered. He was also a member of the “Moa Searching Committee” among whose objectives were to seek evidence that moas of one species or another had been hunted by the Polynesian invaders. The quest for Moa skeletons took him from Doubtless Bay to the limestone caves of the King Country and Waikaremoana where first evidence was found that a large pelican had once lived in New Zealand. Another great interest lay in Auckland and Far North regions whose history and development he studied closely for more than eight decades, an enthusiasm reflected in the rarities in his collection. Arthur Pycroft and his wife Minna, a recognised ornithological and botanical artist in her own right spent four years in England in the late 1930s, a halcyon time for Arthur who haunted antiquarian book shops in search of rare books. The sheer breadth of the collection is a reflection of the depth of all his interests, accentuated by an acutely sensitive and dedicated approach to acquisitions. The library is rich in rare books, pamphlets, manuscripts and photographs with many of the more notable items having a unique association with the personalities who helped shape early New Zealand and Pacific history.

  • An Education Resource for Schools: Part Three: Plants Pages 142-165
    Mahoe Melicytus ramifl orus Whiteywood This is one of the most common trees to be found on Tiritiri Matangi Island, and is especially obvious along the Wattle Valley Track. What does it look like? Mahoe is a small tree with a smooth whitish trunk covered in patches of fi ne white lichen. Mahoe grows quite quickly, and branches start quite close to the ground. Young leaves are bright green and their edges are serrated. Mahoe trees mainly fl ower in November / December but sometimes on Tiritiri Matangi they also fl ower in April / May and the masses of little creamy fl owers give out a lovely scent. When the fl owers fi nish they develop into little green berries which then ripen into a bright purple colour by January to March. What can be found living on it? Tree wetas can often been found in mahoe trees because it is a favourite food of theirs. Birds love the fruit, and on Tiritiri Matangi visitors can often see kokako, bellbirds, saddlebacks and tui when the trees are fl owering or fruiting, and they also join robins in looking for insects in nooks and crannies in the bark and under the dead leaves beneath the trees. 142 Tiritiri Matangi: An education resource for schools Has it a use for humans? The branches are too brittle and the rest of the wood is too soft to be much use, but old time maori sometimes used a sharply pointed piece of kaikomako on a fl at piece of mahoe to create a channel full of fi ne dust which when rubbed vigorously, would start to smoke and then could be fanned into a fl ame.

LATE GOVERNOR &c. OF THE STRAITS COLONY & HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR THE FEDERATED MALAY STATES WITH A SPECIALLY COMPILED MAP NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS RE- PRODUCED FROM PHOTOGRAPHS 6f A FRONTISPIECE IN PHOTOGRAVURE 15>W( LONDON i JOHN LANE THE BODLEY HEAD NEW YORK: JOHN LANE COMPANY MDCCCCVH Plymouth: william brendon and son, ltd., printers PREFACE is an article of popular belief that Englishmen are born sailors probably it would be more true to IT ; say that they are born administrators. The English- man makes a good sailor because we happen to have hit upon the right training to secure that end ; but, though the Empire is large and the duties of administra- tion important, we have no school where they are taught. Still it would be difficult to devise any responsibility, how- ever onerous and unattractive, which a midshipman would not at once undertake, though it had no concern with sea or ship. Moreover, he would make a very good attempt to solve the problem, because his training fits him to deal intelligently with the unexpected. One may, however, question whether any one but a midshipman would have willingly embarked upon a voyage to discover the means of introducing order into the Malay States, when that task was thrust upon the British Government in 1874. The object of this book is to explain the circumstances under which the experiment was made, the conditions which prevailed, the features of the country and the character of the people ; then to describe the gradual evolution of a system of administration which has no exact parallel, and to tell what this new departure has done for Malaya, what effect it has had on the neighbour- ing British possessions.

Their ideas, enthusiasm and determination have helped to build our nation’s economy and encourage talent for enterprise. The University of Auckland Business School believes it is time to comprehensively present the remarkable journey that has seen our city grow from a collection of small villages to the country’s commercial powerhouse.

  • Trees for the Land
    Trees for the Land GROWING TREES IN NORTHLAND FOR PROTECTION, PRODUCTION AND PLEASURE FOREWORD Trees are an integral, highly visible and valuable part of the Northland landscape. While many of us may not give much thought to the many and varied roles of trees in our lives, our reliance on them can not be overstated. Both native and exotic tree species make important contributions to our region – environmentally, socially, culturally and economically. Pohutukawa – a coastal icon – line our coasts and are much loved and appreciated by locals and tourists alike. Similarly, many of the visitors who come here do not consider their trip complete without a journey to view the giant and majestic kauri of Waipoua, which are of huge importance to Mäori. Many Northlanders make their livings working in the forest industry or other industries closely aligned to it and trees also play a crucial role environmentally. When all these factors are considered, it makes sense that wise land management should include the planting of a variety of tree species, particularly since Northland is an erosion- prone area. Trees help stabilise Northland’s hillsides and stream banks. They help control winter flood flows and provide shelter and shade for the land, rivers and stock. They also provide valuable shelter, protection and food for Northland’s flora and fauna. This publication draws together tree planting information and advice from a wide range of sources into one handy guide. It has been written specifically for Northlanders and recommends trees that will survive well in our sometimes demanding climate. The Northland Regional Council is committed to the sustainable management and development of natural resources like our trees.
