PREFACE.
It is said by a distinguished writer, that no one should present the public with anytbing in such a crude and undigested form as to need an apology. Although, as a general rule, this may hold good, yet, fortunately for the author, it has its exceptions. In a country so little known, and so recently colonized as New Zealand, it is a duty each one owes to contribute his mite to the general fund of information ; and, however iraperfect these contributions may be, they are more likely to be appreciated than those of higher pretensions at some future period, when the difficulties which the inquirer has now to contend with will have been removed.
The author flatters himself, tliat however detective bis vocabulary may be found, it will still fu rnish matter which others may turn ta better account, and will prove not altogether uninteresting to the settler, for whose use it is chiefly intended.
INTRODUCTION.
The Natural Historv of these islands, compared with that. of other countries, appears very defe'ctive. The only land animal which we are at present acquainted with, as being indigenous, is the rat ; and the only imported one, prior to the arrival of Europeans, was the dog. The original rat is now nearly exterminated by the Norway rat, which has already multiplied to such an extent, as perhaps to be more numero us than the native one ever was. Noxious reptiles have no place in New Zealand; neither snake, toad, ñor frog, has been found. A snake was said to have been seen at Hokianga, which some captain brought with him from Sydney ; but it is must probable, if such were the case, it accidentally carne in the fuel, and there is every reason to hope it did not live to perpetúate its race. The existence of a beaver in the Middle Island is also affirmed, but the foundation on which the report rests is uncertain.
Several varieties of the lizard vvere in existence "ïintil lately, but none of any size ; since the introduction of the cat they have so rapidly dísappeared, that ere long they will most probably be either totally extinct, or so scarce as seldom to be met with. The largest kind I have seen is the whieh is about cighteen inches long ; but, if native reports are to be credited, very large lizards have existed, which were as terrible to them as ancient legends represent the dragons to have been, which are said formerly to have inhabited every part of Christendom ; and in sorae parts the natives affirm larger lizards than any we have seen are still in existence. The matara, though viewed with extreme dread by the natives, appears to be perfcctly harmless. It has a large benevolent looking eye, rounded teeth, and a serrated white comb along its back. It burrows, and is extremely slow in all its movements. The natives also speak of a wild man of the woods — the maero, who is represented as principally residing on the inaccessible heights of the Tararua range. He is said to be as tall as a man, and covered with hair, with very long arms ; it is only in scarce seasons when he is seen ; he then visits the plains and carries any unfortunate straggler he may meet with. It is not improbable a few solitary remains of a more ancient race of natives still exist in the more re mote and inaccessible fastnesses of the islán d, and that this is the origin of the tale ; the natives themselves affirtn when they first carne they found a thinly scattered tribe in the occupation of the soiL
Though tbis country is so destitute of land animáis, and there is no other of similar extent equally so, still its Ornithology presents a remarkable peculiarity. Cut ofF, as New Zealand is, frona every other part of the globe, by a wide expanse of ocean, we cannot wonder that its should be * V so small ; still the ancient existence of several species of the apterix, and one of gigantic proportions, far exceeding any now found in anv other part of the world, is verv remarkable. The fabled roe here seems to have had ati actual existence, except its being wingless. The bones of the which are scattered through the land on which it once lived in solitary grande ur, are equal in magnitude to those of the elephant, and on the most modérate computation, itmust have stood fourteen feet high. Although native reports still assign it a place in the land of the living, we have little expectation of seeing it ; like all these solitary birds it has disappeared, and as it was the largest, so has it probably been the first to depart. The dodo has followed it, and several varieties of the kiwi as well. The apterix appears to be a proscribed family, either the climate of the earth has changed, or the encroachments of men have pre vailed . The natives have many proverbs alluding to the from which we learn it was a fat bird, and of a red coiour ; and to express the total extinction of a tribe, it is said to have been destroved as completely as the moa ; there is still a hunting song in existence relative to it. There are also the remains of another bird of the same family, equal to the emú of New Holland,
or perhaps still larger ; its bones are very abundant : and anotlier about three feet higli ; this is extinct in the Northern Island» but there is great reason to suppose it still exists in the Middle Island ; and last comes the kiwi, which is yet by no means a scarce bird. It is found in the deep re- - cesses of the forest, from whence it is onìy driven forth by violent storms, when, its haunts being covered with water, it seeks the plain, and then its slirill plaintive cry being heard it soon falls an easv prey. It is liunted with dogs, and surprised by the light of the torch. It has a long beak, with its nostrils at the extremity; its coloar is a reddishbrown, and the construction of its feathers is similar to tliat of the emú s. The dog and cat hunt this bird of their own accord, and are, it is to be feared, too successful in their sport. The next family of birds to be noticed is that of the rail » which n atura1 ly follows the apterix. There are abonfc four known of this order in New Zealand ; the largest, the moho, is described as being almost equal to a fowl in size, and formerly so abundant as to form no inconsiderable portion of the natives' support. It is a black bird, with a red bilí and red legs, and scarcely any appearance of wings. Speaking of this bird, they say that, since the arrival of Europeans, it has almost become extinct ; formerly it abounded. Wherever the European goes, the dog, the cat, and the rat follow, and these are greater enemies than man liimself to these helpless denizens of the forest. Next comes the weka, which is an eîegant bird, rather less than a barn-door fowl
in sîze ; the corara on ñame given it is the wood» lien. This bird is still found in the interior of the south end of the Northern Island ; — it is not seen in the North, but is most abundant in the Middle Island : it inhabíts the forest, and is of a reddish-brown colour in every part except the neck, whicli is of a slate colour. The next is a small bird, the kakatia; and the last is the , a very diminutive one of elegant forra, not so îarge in the bodv as a sparrow, witli long slender beak and feet ; it is found in swamps. The as well as the apterix, is a night bird. After these two families must be noticed the kaka-po, a large ground parrot ; its narae signifies, the night -parrot ; it scarcely flies : its colour is green and yellow, and its size quite that of the fowl. The natives describe two varieties, one as being larger than the It was formerly very abundant, but now is rare, so that it is seldóm raet witli in the Northern Island ; it is more abundant in the Middle Island. I ha ve only seen one. Tli ere are only two birds of passage, the warauroa , a beautiful little bird, and the , the New Zealand cuckoo. These two birds are baile d as the harbingers of sumraer ; thev only reñí ai n about six weeks, and are called tlie birds of f Hawaiki. It is not improbable the pelican occasionaîly visits these islands, but this rests on native reports. The white crane is sometimes seen, but so rarely, that there is a saving when anv great
stranger comes that he is lìke the kotukutuku, which ís oh lv once seen in a man's life. 80 New Zealand possesses about six kinds of butterflies, and twice as manv varietíes of the beetle. The only noxious insects are the a small black sand fly, the waeroa or mosquito, and a small black spider with a red spot on its back, the katipo, the bite of which appears to be very poisonous, occasioning a violent swelling ©f the part. In this department the most singular thing is the enveto or vegetating caterpillar, which is found in everv part of the Northern īsland. New Zealand is rich in pines, possessing about twelve varieties, amongst which is the noble and the durable t otar a, the in the North and the toatoa, used in dyeing, in the South. In the North of this islán d the p flourishes, which is our teak, and by far the most durable of all the New Zealand trees, the timber of which in general is rather perishable. Several trees flourish in the North which are not seen in the South, as the a pine, the puriri, the tariri, the manawa, and the beautiful pohutukawa, which is found only on the sea coast, exceptingon a small island in theRotorua, and another in the Taupo, lake. The forest contains two species of the pepper, one resembling the cava of the South Sea Islands ; the other the horopito, a laurel very pungent and aromatic. Of the trees it roay be remarked, that one great proof of the •natives having come from Tahiti is, that many of the ñames of the trees here are similar to those of that island, the natives naturally giving the ñames
they were familiar with to the trees most nearly resembling those of their own country. New Zealand possesses several beautiful flowering shrubs, amongst the foremost of whieh rnust be placed the kowaingutukaka it is however very doubtful whether it be indigenous. New Zealand perhaps has a more scanty than any other country of equal extent, yet it has several beautiful fiowers ; two species of the hibiscus, one bearing a large flower equal to the holyoke in size ; this is only found near the North Cape ; and a beautiful salvia, which is also peculiar to that part. In the South are several kinds of the áster. It is especially rich in ferns, mosses, fungi, and lichens; of the ferns there are more than one hundred different kinds, of the fungi nearly twelve edible ones. In lethyology it numbers the the shark which has the tooth so highly prized hy the natives ; this is only found in a certain latitude, between 25° and 35° S. The Conchology of New Zealand numbers several fine varieties of the trochus, particularly the trochas imperialis , which is very common in the vicinity of Kapiti, a fine large grooved only found near Cape Van Diemen, and a large tritón, peculiar to the same part. Though land shells are rare, yet there are many different kinds of them which are all extremely interesting. The finest and largest is a cone-shapcd helix, found chiefly near the North Cape, and not sccn south of the Bay of Islands. The nexk
which is a large fíat helix nearly three inches in diameter, is founå between the Bay and Kawia. A third variety of the helix, about the size of the common English field snail-shell, is found as far so utli as the Waitara, and t henee the shells become very minute ; but amongst the ni the re are three varieties of snails, which wiìl be eonsidered as great curiosities ; they may be correctly termed the land haìiotis : the lorgest possesses a shield one inch in length on its back, and inhabits the interior ; it is very rare. The other two kinds I have onîy notieed in the Southern part of tliis island. The Geologv of New Zealand is higlily interesting ; but I shall only make a few general remarks upon it here. It is a volcanic country ; the powers first employed in its elevation are still in acticn ; there is a continued line of craters, which still have boiling springs in them, from one end of the North Island to the other ; probably Mount Erebus, the recently discovered volcano of the South Pole, mav be eonsidered as our safety valve ; in the middle and southern part ofthe North Island earthquakes are extremelv frequent, seldom a month elapsing without a shock being felt ; these are generally partial in exte.nt, following the course of fissures, and according to their degree of power act upon the level of the land ; the many changes of levels seen on the Western coast abundan tly prove this to be the case, as well as the stages of elevation inland show how repeatedlv the land has been raised • above, or depressed below, the level of the -sea ; and that the same changes are going on here on a
smaller scale, which are still taking place in South America, with which it is parallel. The granel basis of the Ñor th īsland is whinstone, abo ve which is clay, and in most places coal. In the noithernextremity of the North Island the whinstone app roaches the surface, giving the face of the country a very uneven appearance ; whilst in the middle it is only found at a great depth, being covered with thick strata of clay, gravel, sand, &c. ; but it again makes its appearance on the surface at Wellington , the south extremity of the island. Through the interior runs a limestone range which is remarkably destitute of fossils. In general it crops out in the form of pillars, and gives a very romantic appearance to the landscape. Chasrns abound in those regions, but they contain no fossil remains. In the interior there are numerous cfaters, but frorn one only is tire occasionally emitted. Tongariro, the loftiest mountain of the North Island, always smokes, and sometimes sends forth flames, which the natives believe to be a su re token of a bloody war. Boiling springs are numerous both at Taupo and Rotorua; in the neighbourhood of the former they deposit silex, in the ìatter chiefly pipe-clay. One spring at Taupo possesses the power of turning whatever substance is immersed in it into stone, preserving all the original characteristics of its n ature, but completely converting it into a beautiful silicious stone; but whatever substance anv of the water happens only to ñow over, is, 011 the contrary, mereìy covered by an incrustation. Buìphur in those parts abounds. Copper and lead ores, together with good coal,
llave been found in considerable quantities. It ís very probable as we become better acquainted with the Middle Island, that all these and the more precious metáis will be found in much greater abundanee. Granite has not been diseoveredi in the Northern, whilst it abounds in the Southern, Island. From the Geographical position of these islands, it appears highly probable that tliey once formed part of a grand cliain extending from Papua to the Auckland isles. Tliere are soundings from the Three Kings to Norfolk Island ; and whilst some of the productions of tliis country are found in Norfolk Island and Lord Howe's Island, many also are found in the Auckland isles. The general features of the country are far from being pleasing, with the exception of the interior grassy plains — the country is covered eitlier with dense forest or with fern ; the greater portion of the surface is very mountainous ; in tliis country all the hills are sliarp pointed, as if nothing had disturbed them sin ce their first upheavement. The present surface may be viewed as only the back bone of a future country. The shallow seas off both the East and West coasts, and the frequency of earthquakes, render it more than probable that at some future time extensive districts of level land will be gained from the sea, although it is now making great inroads on both those sides of the island. The two highest mountains in tliis island are Ton - gariro and Taranaki, the forraer being estimated at 16,000 feet liigh, the latterat 9,000;
Wherever there are ínland craters, there are iakes which are proportioned in size to tlie elevation of the mountain. Taupo has a diameter of thirty-five miles each way, and is slyled the sea ; and around Rotorua there is a cluster of about sixteen lakes of various sizes. The principal rivers take their rise from Tongariro ; these are the Waikato and the Wanganui, the former having a course of about four hundred miles, the latter of half that distance. There can be but little doubt that the aboriginal race, at no very remote period, carne from sorae of the South Sea Islands. The resemblance of person, manners, customs, and language, clearly assures us of this; to which raay be added their own traditions, which preserve the ñame of the country they carne from, as welì as the ñames of the canoes, witli the chiefs who carne in them ; they have also traditions of the food they introduced, and a genealógica! table of their generations from the time of their arrival to the present period. Whether Hawaiki, the island they carne from, be one of the Sandwich islands or not it is difficult to say, although the similarity of ñame seems to identify it. The affinity of language witli that of the Malays seems to point out a eommon origin to the two ; but it is not improbable the Malay, as jwell as the New Zealander, may have wandered from another spot. Where the source of this wide spread race is to be found is vet to be discovered.* «K
* There is a tradition preserved amongst the natives of the interior, of their having had three distinct migrations beforc
Few aborigìnal races have been so distinguished for cruelty, love of war, and cannibalism, as this; vet ít is remarkable that tbe natives of New Zealand have no regular canino tooth ; and they say that their sanguinary disposition has been acquired only since their arrival in this country. They have always been a religious people ; and debased and degraded as they originally were, they still undertook no enterprise without prayer, and ín all their diñiculties invoked the aid of their deities, most of whom were deified chiefs ; and it is remarkable that in the district of Wanganui only was image worship used. Their ideas of the Creation are curious ; each department of nature not only liaving a sepárate Creator, but al so the diôerent divisions of the same department, the dog, the rat, the lizard, liad each its particular father, as they styled liim . The tapu which is common to this wide spread aboriginal race, is to be viewed more as a política! than a religious institution, in» tended to uphold the autliority of the cliief, and to maintain his dignity amongst those who viewed themselves too much on an equality to yield obedience to his will without this adjunet to his power. A more intímate acquaintance with the religious customs of this singular race will tend to throw light on their origin, and well repav the
they reached New Zealand. The point from which they first carne being called Uawai/ci - tawi ti-n , from thence they arrived at Hawai-patata, where they remained for a certain period, un til perhaps their numbers were too large for the island, when they abandoued it and carne to Hawaiki-kiíe-moutere , where they also stayed some time, and thence fmally reached New Zealand,
search. The remarkable resemblance of many of their custóms to those of tlie Jews would almost entitle us to suppose they were connected witli the lost tribes of Israel. Whatever may be the case, to those who ha ve made this country their adopted borne it must be a subject of the greatest interest.

PART III. TIME.
The Natives count time by nights, moons, and stars, and instead of distinguishing the days by ñames, they confer that honor on the nights ; diíferent tribes rather vary in their ñames and order, but there is a general resemblance between them, as will be seen by the following líst, in which four diíferent ñames, in use among the diíferent tribes, are given to each lunar night respectively. The tìrst three ñames are those of the nights when the moon is invisible :

There appears also to have been a kind of división of the nights into decades, as ten nights to the full moon, ten to its disappearing. The native year commences with the first new moon after the star Puanga is seen in the morning, which is in June:

N.B — The ñames marked with an * are stars. The signs of the approaeh of Summer are the flowering of the following trees and plants :
1. The Pikiarero, 2. The Ko tukutuku ,f 3. The Pukapuka, Syn. with Warangi 4. The Ho
5. The Kowai 6. The Rewarewa, the Rora 7. The Pohutukaua 8. The Rata.
The Winter months are distinguished by the rising of the following stars :
1. Puanga, in May 2. Matariki, in June, and Te ra o Tainui
3. Kopu and Tautoru, inJuly 4. Wakaau and Mangere, in August.
Matariki shines all the winter, and is therefore called the great Winter star, as Rehua, which shines all the Summer, is called the great summer star. The sign that Summer has commenced, and that the Kumara are ripe, is the arrival of the two birds of passage, the
New Zealand Cuckoos, the Kohaperoa, or Koekoea (fascialus Forst.) and the beautiful little Pipiwawaroa nitens) which arrive about Christmas, and mark the potatoe harvest ; they only remain about six weeks.
The ñames of the four seasons are : Ko Toru 1 Spring — Sep- now shedding their oíd Ko Tahi tember, Oct., foliage — Dec., Jan., Feb. Ko Takarua j Nov. Ngahuru, Autumn — March, Raurnati, Summer — charac- April, May teristically named from the Hotoke "I Winter — June, fall of the leaf, the trees Makariri j July, August. The Summer months are called Waka au nguku, or the season when the sun begins to warm the ground. They are also distinguished by the following ñames :

Waka ahu Papa Waka ahu kerekere tal, tapu ki Hawaiki.

líke a bunch of currants, with the seed external, of a purple colour and of an agreeable flavour ; but it can only be used by expressing the juice and carefully separating all the seeds and seed stalks, which are very poisonous. It is the native wine, and when boiled with Rimú, a seaweed, forms a jeliy which is very palatable ; when fermented, it makes a sort of wine ; the juice contains so mueh colouring matter that it may be used as a dye.

Nat. Ord. Coniferae. Rimú, Dacriäium cupressinum ; a noble tree, and by far the mosfc beautiful of the New Zealand pines ; it produces a small fruit, with the seed externally attached, which is much prized by the natives, the smallness of the size being made up by its ab un dance ; this tree produces a resin which is both sweet and bitter ; the wood, alsö, possesses the same qualities ; an infusión might be used for beer. Te Mai, Matai, Taocus matai : this pine resembles the English Yew in the forrn of its leaf ; the fruit is a blaek, or purple berry, about the size of a wikl cherry ; it is sweet and rather slimy, but of an agreeable flavour.

Nat. Ord. Karaka, Corynocarpus laerrigator ¡ this beautiful Laurel produces a fruit about twice the size of a large Acorn, of an orange colour, having somewhat the flavour of an apricot, but by far too strong to be agreeable ; the kernel is as large as an Acorn ; until it has been cooked and steeped in a running stream for a fortnight it is very poisonous ; after it has undergone this process it is much prized as an artiele of food by the natives. Tawa, Laurus Tawa ; the fruit of this tree has somewhat the appearance of a wine-sour plum, and it is very sweet with a slight flavour of turpentine ; the kernel, when cooked, is also eaten ; the bark, when infused, furnishes the traveller with a wholesoine, as well as a grateful beverage, which does not require the addition of sugar.

Taraire, Laurus macrophylla ; this tree produces a long, oval fruit, about the size of the date ; the pulp is sweet, but has too strong a taste of turpentine to be agreeable. Nat. Ord. A Titoki, Tokitoki, Topitopi, Alectryon exceìsum; this tree bears a singular looking fruit, more agreeable to the eye than to the taste ; it is contained in a calyx, which bursts open and discloses the fruit of a bright red fleshy appearance, having a black seed in the centre, from which the natives extrac t an oil ; the fruit is sweet, but has a very rough taste. MONOCOTYLEDONES. Nat. Ord. Orchideae. Maikaika ; there are several members of this family, which all produce edible roots ; when roasted tliey are not
unlike the potatoe, and are sometimos found as large as small kidney potatoes.

Nat. Ord. As Harakeke, Phormium ìenax this plant, when in bloom, has the calyx of its flowers filled with honey, or, rather, with a sweet water, which the natives drink ; one plant will produce nearly half a pint ; at the root of the leaves is found a considerable quantity of semi-liquid gum, which is also eaten.

ACOTYLEDONES. Nat. Ord. . Korau, Pitau , Mamaku, Cya ; this îs the rnost beautiful of the New Zealand arborescent ferns ; its long, graceful leaves and jet black stalks, with its tender fronds, curled so as to form no inapt resemblance of a crozier, are sure to arrest the traveller's attention in the forest ; the entire stem being peeied is eaten, and when cooked in the hangi, (Mamaku) is ver y good ; one tree will diñe a large party ; it is a favo rite dish of the natives ; it is also worthy of notice tliat the pith of the cooked Mamaku, when dried in the sun, forms no bad substitute for sago. Rar aune, Pteris escuīenta ¡ this is the common fern, the root of which (Aruhe or Roi) is eateà ; when well beaten, roasted, and deprived of its fibres, it is good eating ; the proper time for digging it, is the early part of November, when it is stacked (Titara) and carefully protected from the
% weather, but the wind is allowed to biow through it ; the fern root is still prized as food, especially by the sick and those who travel by sea, being a great preventive of seasickness ; there are particular spots where they dig it, and the parfc whicli is selected is the deepest in the earth. Uwipara, Paratawiti ; a very growing in the densest parts of the forest, having a very long and slender leaf ; the root is scaly, like that of the white lily, each scale being of a considerable size ; these are roasted and considered a great delicacy.

Nat. Ord. Āìgae. Rimú, Chondms Chrispus ; this sea weed is generally used by the natives, being boilcd with the juice of the Tutu, which it converts into a jelly ; it possesses all the properties of the Carrigeen moss, and will, doubtless, before long be as highly prized by the Europeans as it is by the natives.
