Cockayne's Vegetation of New Zealand and its place names

Cockayne's Vegetation of New Zealand and its place names

Dr. Leonard Cockayne's ‘Vegetation of New Zealand’ appeared in two editions, the first in 1921 of 364 pages, 2 maps and 95 figures, the second in 1928 of 456 pages, 3 maps and 106 figures. These books would have been familiar texts to a much wider audience except that the number of copies in New Zealand has always been meagre. The first edition suffered from being produced in Germany soon after, or partly during, the first world war while the second appeared shortly before the financial depression of the nineteen thirties, the publisher's unsold stocks being finally almost wholly destroyed during world war two. A photographic reproduction of the second edition, dated 1958, is now generally available.

Place names are not listed in either edition but a comprehensive Index of Plant Names occupies 28 pages of the first and 30 pages of the second. The first Index is prefaced by the remark: ‘In this Index names not accurately recorded in the body of the work are corrected and a few observations made regarding certain other names’. It was like Cockayne to use an index in this unconventional way, taking the latest possible moment to bring his work up to date, the index being the last part of a book to be completed. The device was perhaps justifiable in this case when the manuscript had been in the publisher's hands since 1914, and only limited alterations were possible before the book finally appeared seven years later. But Cockayne adopted the same practice elsewhere and in any of his works it is well worth while to scan the index and lists of plant names for snippets of information.

Each of the two books begins with a carefully tabulated and very detailed table of Contents, occupying 8 pages in the first edition and 12 pages in the second. By making full use of this the reader may be led to many brief but illuminating accounts of the vegetation of specified localities. Throughout the books, however, there are many other references to place names, and we have found it useful to be able to locate these names by means of a card index, the contents of which are set out below for more general use.

Our list omits names of places outside the New Zealand Botanical Region, and also the names of Cockayne's Botanical Provinces, Districts and Sub-districts. The main discussions of the latter are easily found from the table of Contents but their names, either page 211 in full or as initials, appear as incidentals on very many pages. Chapter III (pages 26-42 in ed. 2) consists of a Bibliography of literature pertaining to relevant aspects of New Zealand botany; we do not list place names in these titles.

With these exceptions our index aims to cover the place names in the two editions. Page references are to the second edition (also 1958) except in a few cases where an asterisk shows that the page quoted is in the first. Although the second edition is, as stated, ‘almost entirely rewritten, thoroughly revised and enlarged’ the same framework is used for both books and place names in general appear in the same sequence, being usually several pages earlier in the first edition. We list pages in the first edition therefore only where the second edition appears to contain no equivalent entry. The figures, which are all reproductions of photographs, are nearly all of specified localities and these are also indexed.

Several figures in the second edition merit some comment. Fig. 14: A discrepancy is obvious between the legend and the picture as printed. This disappears if the legend lies along the long edge of the page instead of along the bottom. Another reproduction of this same photograph illustrates the Cawthron Lecture for 1919 (as Fig. 2) and clearly shows islands in the sea beyond the slope covered with Hebe scrub.

Fig. 30: Though no locality is given, this photograph can be confidently placed as Kitchener Park, Feilding, and is so indexed. Fig. 64, 65: The legends of these two figures appear to have been reversed accidentally; compare the same pictures, as Figs. 53 and 54, in the first edition.

Fig. 77: In the second edition, but not in the first, this photograph is printed upside down.
