Mollusca of the southern islands of New Zealand, Cape Expedition, 1941-1945

Citation

Powell A W B (2020): Mollusca of the southern islands of New Zealand, Cape Expedition, 1941-1945. v1.0. Southwestern Pacific Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) Node. Dataset/Occurrence. https://nzobisipt.niwa.co.nz/resource?r=obisschemanzsubantmollusca&v=1.0 https://doi.org/10.15468/3srx67 accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-02-02.

Description

This report is based on the collections of specimens and data in the Auckland and Campbell Islands in the years 1941-45. Early in 1941, coast-watching stations were established at Port Ross, Carnley Harbour, and Perseverance Harbour, and the personnel of from three to five men at each were relieved once a year. Standing instructions issued by the Navy Office included a recommendation that the men should, in addition to service routine, record general observations on natural phenomena. This report is regarded as of the Cape Expedition which was the war-time code name for parties in the field between 1941 and 1945.
