This is an exceptional report on the geology and natural history of the Island of Tahiti provided by a distinguished naturalist, Dr. Crossland, illustrated with several sketch maps showing Tahiti and Taiarapu; the mouth of the Fautaua River, Taunoa Harbour; the mouth of the Punaruu river, as well as, amazing photographs depicting west coast of Tahiti; the island of Moorea from Atine; the north-east side of Tahara Head; Papeari; beach of Pocillopora on Motu Au; a wrecked islet off Hitiaa; and "Nansouty" islet. The author also discusses how the three easternmost groups of Polynesia differ one from another by decribing their volcanic origin, maritime flats, and coral reefs. Crossland was praised in his obituary in the journal "Nature" as 'one of the last explorer-naturalists of the Darwin type'.

Rocks and minerals have always held a dual appeal for man - as objects of fascination and beauty and for their historic and scientific interest. The 400 photographs in this encyclopedia are therefore both a visual pleasure and also an essential means of identification. The text describes for the layman and the collector of many aspects of rocks and minerals - formation, location, history, cultural and technological uses. Marginal notes list the main physical and chemical characteristics of the minerals and line drawings illustrate their structures.

Kingdom-Ward's typically compelling narrative unveils the flora and points of geographical interest in the unexplored area east of the Tsangpo gorge via Assam, the Lohit valley and Rima. Kingdom-Ward's expedition reveals a wealth of information related to climate, topography, botany, zoology and geology. Summarising the journey, he underlines the significance of what he describes as 'a great climatic barrier' stretching across the country from the head of the Tsangpo gorge, south-eastwards towards the Yangtze - a climatic barrier that served also as a biological and human one. A very detailed and involving report accompanied by an amphibian and reptile related appendix, numerous stunning photographs (some full page) and a large, folding map.

An English translation by Dr. C. F. Fisher, from the Scientific Publications of the Novara Expedition, comprising important and fascinating observations and survey work by German-Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter at the onset of British settlement in the region. 8vo. 113 pages, plus table of contents, title page. Red cloth boards titled in gilt to front. Volume measures approximately 14 x 21 cm. Faint blemish to boards, otherwise very good condition, clean and bright. An early work presenting discoveries made in New Zealand, specifically in Auckland and Nelson, during the Austrian Imperial Novara Expedition. It includes two important lectures delivered by esteemed geologist and expedition leader Ferdinand von Hochstetter. A principal member of the expedition, Hochstetter was involved in its planning from the onset. His surveys were used in the making of the first geological map of New Zealand, created the bases for future geological research. The Novara Expedition (1857-1859) was the first large-scale scientific, around-the-world mission of the Austrian Imperial navy. In 1859, during the expedition, Hochstetter was funded by the government of New Zealand to make a rapid geological survey of the islands. Over 150 years later, his work is regarded as an authoritative primary source still today. the volume's content centers largely on Hochstetter's survey of Auckland, beginning with his lecture on the region's geology. Subjects further include its extinct volcanos, Lake Rotomahana and its hot springs [Te Tarata thermal springs], and three inlets on North Island - Whaingaroa [now known as Raglan], Aotea, and Kawhia. Approximately one quarter of the text is devoted to his geological work in the Province of Nelson.
