Tuatara: Volume 12, Issue 2, July 1964
Fig. 1: To illustrate the New Zealand pattern, I have taken eight taxa; 1) Trachypterus, 2) Regalecus, 3) Mola. 4) Mesoplodon gravi, 5) M. layardi, 6) M. stejnegeri, 7) Tasmacetus, 8) Berardius. The figures representing these have been arranged approximately in the region of stranding (not the exact spot). The dotted arrows indicate the surface currents taken from J. W. Brodie's paper: ‘Coastal Surface Currents Around New Zealand’. (N. Zeal. Journ. Geol. & Geophys, 1960, 3: 235)
