- John Buchanan’s pre-1880 records and illustrations of New Zealand fungi
- John Buchanan illustrated a range of non-lichenised fungi while botanising around Wellington. In 1874 he recorded the names of 52 fungi as an addition to a list of plants of Wellington province, based on his collections and illustrations of fungal specimens.

Read moreWe examined museum collections to compile a list of all known moa remains collected within the Auckland area and Coromandel Peninsula (North Island, New Zealand) from both natural and archaeological contexts. Moa remains have been found at 45 locations within our study-area, with many locations represented by just a few bones in a largely fragmentary state.
Read moreThe Marine Department of Auckland War Memorial Museum has an actively growing type collection with currently 1,777 primary types and a further 1,835 paratypes and paralectotypes. The majority are molluscan and this fourth part of a catalogue of these collections reviews the types for 498 Caenogastropoda species and subspecies.
