This publication presents the first annotated English translation of Hochstetter’s manuscript German language diary from his initial stay in Auckland during the period 22 December 1858 to 5 March 1859. During this time Hochstetter undertook surveys and field work for his famous map of the Auckland volcanic field and also made multi-day trips west to Te Henga and Whatipu, south to Port Waikato, east to Maraetai and Clevedon and north to Whangaparaoa.
The diary text has been annotated by the authors with many additional facts and contextual notes. The edition is illustrated with figures and historic photographs relating to people, places and geology mentioned. Also included are many of Hochstetter’s sketches and preliminary maps of his journeys, supplemented by previously unseen maps and paintings by his colleague at the time, Charles Heaphy, from the collections of the Geological Society of London.
