6 THE CHARTOGRAPHY OF NEW ZEALAND.

No. 1,212 - price, 3s. 6d. Then follow fourteen sheets of the
largest formula, which are on one and the same scale
of 1:280.000,* and which embrace the whole of New Zealand.†
Comparing these fourteen sheets with Reymann's Map of
Germany and Central Europe, on the scale of 1:200.000, and

they would have formed exactly one hundred of such sheets.
This will give an idea of the magnitude of this survey. Of the
remaining fifty-nine charts and plans, six are at a scale of
1:145.000 to 1:48.000; eleven, 1:36.000; two, 1:27.000 and
1:26.000; seventeen, 1:24.000; three, 1:22.000; eleven, 1:21.000
to 1:12.000; and nine, 1:9000 to 1:5000.

While, through the surveys of the Admiralty, the outlines
of New Zealand were carefully and completely settled,
the knowledge of the interior was gradually developed by the
surveys of the various settlements and through exploring
expeditions, and especially in the South Island journeys
of discovery were undertaken into the interior. The account of
the expedition of Thomas Brunner, in the year 1846-47, from
Nelson in a southerly direction along the coast to Tihihai
Head, was published in the Journal of the Royal Geographical
Society, in 1850, with a small map. A short account of
