KERRY-NICHOLLS, J. H.
A Recent Exploration of the King Country, New Zealand.
23 pages. Plus a large fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 22.75 x 16.5 inches (58 x 42cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An account of the author's extensive explorations in the part of the North Island known as the King Country and Lake Country, traversing 600 miles through Maoriland and six hundred miles around King County just after the area was opened for railway survey and construction. The author's explorations resulted in the discovery of twenty-five rivers not previously shown on the maps and two small lakes; he examined the hydrography of lake Taupo, traced the sources of four of the principal rivers of the colony - the Whanganui, Waikato, Whangaehu, and Manganui-a-te-Ao - ascended Tongariro (7300 feet) and examined its active crater, ascended Mount Ruapehu (9000 feet), the highest peak of the North Island; ascended the Kaimanawa Mountains to an altitude of 4000 feet, examined the flora and collected some specimens of Alpine plants. This is a highly illuminating account with valuable description of the region of Lake Taupo, the Rangipo tableland, the Kaimanawa mountains, ascent of Tongariro and Ruaoehu, the Manganui a-te-Ao, hot springs of Tongariro, source of the Whanganui, and valley of the Waipa. Accompanied by a spectacular large colour map of the King Country and neighbouring district from the explorations of Kerry-Nicholls in April and May of 1883, very detailed with names of newly discovered rivers, plains and lakes that were not previously shown on the maps, as well as the author's route and a data table of altitudes, camping places and principal stations of observations along the route traversed.

KNIGHT, JG (editor) J G
The Northern Territory of South Australia
Adelaide: E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. Octavo 55 pages. Original flush-cut quarter cloth and card covers with the title page details repeated on the front cover; cloth a little flecked and slightly sunned and rubbed; card a little tanned mottled and lightly marked; minimal signs of age and use; an excellent copy. At the time of publication the author was Chief Warden of the Goldfields of the Northern Territory. 'This pamphlet is published by permission of the Government of South Australia; but it is only proper to state that the recommendations herein made especially with reference to the formation of a railway have not yet been considered by the Ministry and must therefore be only regarded as the individual views of the author. A portion of the matter in the following pages was compiled by me' for Harcus's 'South Australia' published in 1876; it 'incorporated some useful papers written by residents there'. <p>That book also contained an important chapter on Central Australia incorporated here with additional material. To quote Harcus: 'the following interesting and well-written account of Central Australia along the line of telegraph has appeared in the "Register". The writer Mr J.A. Giles is well acquainted with the whole of the country which he describes. It is the best and most trust-worthy account of Central Australia which has yet been published'. Knight remarks that it 'affords an excellent insight into the vast tract of country'. The article takes up most of the 17-page chapter; it refers on occasion and thus eliminates any misattribution to Alfred Giles the explorer with strong telegraph line credentials. It is augmented with a page of quotations from Charles Winnecke's 1879 Herbert River expedition reports. Ferguson 11231 pretty light on detail even to the extent of not recording the binding. E.
