About This Item
New Zealand: Denver Museum of Natural History. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1962. First Edition. Hardcover. A profusely illustrated report, based on field work by the Denver Museum of Natural History expedition, and on the four years' experience of J. H. Sorensen, a talented New Zealand naturalist, as a coastal watcher on Campbell Island. This southernmost Sub-Antarctic island of New Zealand is considered one of the remarkable bird islands of the world, as it has five species of nesting albatrosses, three of penguins, and many other sea and land birds.The book gives an historical account of discovery and field expeditions, and of the geology, vegetation, and life history notes of the interesting mammals and birds which have been recorded through the years. Campbell Island is the main breeding ground of the southern race of the royal albatross, the largest of flying birds, and life history notes are given also for the wandering, light-mantled, grey-headed, and blackbrowed albatrosses. Sixty-one species of birds are listed, including twenty-six which have been recorded as breeding. This distant isle is the home of fur seals, sea lions and elephant seals. Numerous photographs contribute to the value of the book. ; 250 x 180mm; [vi], 305 pages .
