Errata

• p. 67. The large pā shown at top left in the drawing has been inadvertently cropped out of the photo between pp. 68 and 69.
• p. 115. Oruarangi not dug by museum staff in the 1920s but mostly by amateurs in the 1930s.
• p. 120. The 1954 aerial of Rangiriri shows the old line of SH 1 so that the description of what is where in the picture with reference to the current SH 1 needs to be read carefully.
• p. 178 at bottom right. It should read: Pukerangiora, the traditional pa of the Pukerangiora hapū of Te Atiawa ....
• p. 180. Kakaramea Redoubt dates from Cameron’s 1865 campaign not 1866.
• pp. 224-225. There is the bank of a pā in the lower left of the photograph, possibly named Takapuwharetotara.
• p. 234. The season for the arrival of right whales is wrong. Right whale females arrive on the New Zealand coast from April in the south and May farther north, not in spring. It was essentially a winter industry. They headed south again September-October. The females came into the bays etc to calve. Males stayed out at sea. The right whale was the main species and the only species taken in the early years and at all but a few of the stations.
