From the cover:" When Ferdinand Hochstetter arrived in December 1858 as the geologist on the Austrian Novara Expedition, New Zealand was a vibrant young colony holding much that was still new to science. Joined by his new friend Julius Haast he ventured into the wilds of the North Island and the rugged Nelson backcountry. Their journeys resulted in the last great narratives of colonial exploration and a record of many new sights and discoveries. In defining the foundations of New Zealand geology, Hochstetter has left a remarkable legacy." Both authors have signed on title page. Signed by Author(s).
