A note about
illustrations of maps: The illustrations are provided as a guide only
- magnification is not
always practicable with early maps that are often
faded or smudgy. Some of the images have been copied
from small
photographs of large maps. However, in some examples enlargement in
sections has been possible
and a note in the caption indicates this.

Continued from Chapter 6.
In 1813, the Church Missionary Society, London, began publishing The Missionary Register
to record the activities of its
missions
and missionaries in many countries. Missionaries
played an important part in the early European
development of New Zealand and information which
is derived from data gathered from local
residents, visitors or on their journeys,
is contained in New Zealand maps included in
several issues of
The Missionary Register. L.B. Seeley,
169 Fleet Street, London, published the volumes.

The following five maps were published before
1846.

Remarks:
When Samuel Marsden visited Hokianga
Harbour in 1819 he
named it “River Gambier” after
Lord Gambier. Both the
Bay of Islands and Hokianga River
are wrongly placed but
the link between the two
can be clearly seen.

Remarks:
Of particular interest in this map are the
missionary
settlements marked as “Kiddockiddee” (Kerikeri)
and
“Raanghehoo” (Rangihoua).
“Wytanghee” (Waitangi)
is named and marked on
the map eighteen years before
the
Treaty was signed.

Map See 4. “Map of The
Northern Part Of New Zealand” [1836].
Published in
The Missionary Register,
North Island,
1840. The
following text
accompanies
the map: "MISSIONARY
STATIONS
IN
NEW ZEALAND. (With a Map.)
"The
accompanying Map has been taken from a Chart of
the
whole of both the New Zealand Islands, formed on
actual surveys, by Lieut. T. Mc' Donnell of the
Royal
Navy. The Missionary Stations are
printed in Italic:
one of these, Mangungu, on
the River Hoklanga, is
occupied by Wesleyan
Missionaries: the rest belong to the
Church Missionary Society.
That Society has long had
Labourers
at Tepuna, Kerikeri,
and Waimate, near the Bay
of
Islands: Kaitaia in
the north, has been more recently
occupied;
and still later, far to the South, Puriri,
Ngaruawahia, Tauranga,
and
Matamata: all these will be
found
and 1llululnuttJ: a\l these will be found on the
Map:
Mangapouori
on the RIver
Waipa, has just been added,
but
Its exact [s]ituation has not been stated".
Remarks: The reference to McDonnell is
misleading. McDonnell at
one time had served in the Royal Navy but in
New Zealand
he had no association with either the
Royal Navy or The Hydrographic
Office In fact there is no evidence
that McDonnell carried out
any surveys in New Zealand. He
assembled his 1834 chart of New Zealand by
copying various sections from earlier
surveyors, local
surveyors he was acquainted with and
by filling out gaps in coastlines by
inventions. He sprinkled a number of
family name for some features. The map is
discussed in Page KAZ1 - go via Contents
