Description: Photographs taken at places visited by the Auckland Museum's Will Watch scientific Expedition. The album begins with a menu, and the signatures of the expedition's members. This is followed by photographs of life on the ketch "Will Watch," all of which are deck scenes. The record begins in earnest at Parengarenga Harbour and Te Hapua where the scientific research work began. There are photographs of North Cape, Waikuku Beach, and Tom Bowling Bay where the expedition landed to study giant land snails. The empty shells of one of these (Placostylus) can be seen littering the beach. The expedition passed Kapowairoa, Spirits Bay, and Cape Reinga on its way to the Three kings Islands which was the main objective of the trip. A large section of the album is taken up with photographs of the Three Kings Islands. Most of these are general views from the sea, over the island's landscape, showing the vegetation and areas damaged by goats. Two photographs show flocks of sea birds. The other Island groups included are the Poor Knights Islands and the Hen and Chicken Islands. Photographs include general views of the islands, but also something of the fauna and flora. Photographs taken on the Poor Knights show a Buller's Shearwater chick and its nest, tuatara, a giant weta, and coastal vegetation including clumps of the Poor Knights Lilly (Xeronema callistemon) growing on rock outcrops. Those taken on the hen and Chicken Islands include coastal vegetation, forest containing Puka (Meryta sinclairii), and Whau (Entelia arborescens), and a flesh-footed Shearwater chick. The album concludes with Bellbirds feeding in a garden on Little Barrier Island, and a view of a shore and bay, Kawau Island. The Will Watch Expedition was organised by Dr Robert Falla who worked at the Auckland Museum at that time. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
