Last Glaciation

Abstract. The Pleistocene sequence of Wanganui (North Island of New Zealand) and the succession of glaciations in the South Island are shortly reviewed. The Last Glaciation and the Postglacial time in New Zealand were, as C14 determinations definitly show, contemporaneous with those of the Northern Hemisphere. If the Last Glaciation was contemporaneous on the two Hemispheres, then the older ones must also have been contemporaneous. This does not agree with the MILANKOVITCH-curve, which in the form, as it has been given by M., cannot have been the cause of the ice ages.

Iodine values, Reichert values, saponification values and softening points of butterfats from butters collected at monthly intervals over a period of 4 years from 9 factories representative of the main butter-producing districts in New Zealand were determined. The trend of variation of any one property throughout the season was remarkably uniform, both for different factories in the one season, and for any one property in the four seasons. Weighted monthly average iodine values, Reichert values, saponification values and softening points for the butterfat from all factories over 4 years were 36.7 (33.8–40.2), 30.4 (25.5–32.3), 229.5 (225.5–232.7) and 33.1 (32.2–33.7) respectively. The minimum iodine value occurred in midsummer, i.e. at the season of the year when maximum values are reported for northern hemisphere butters. The iodine values for South Island butterfats diverged markedly from those for the North Island butterfats during the winter, i.e. at the time when turnips are fed to cows in the South. In spite of these lower iodine values, the softening points of the South Island butterfats were lower throughout the year.

The species of Massalongia recorded and described from the Southern Hemisphere are revised and it is shown that only one is present; M. patagonica which is widespread, with populations in Australia and New Zealand that differ from the South American populations, but at present best regarded as part of the variation of that species. Records from this hemisphere of all other species placed in the genus are incorrect. The type species, M. carnosa, is restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. Two species, M. antarctica and M. novozelandica cannot be identified precisely due to lack of sufficient type material and with the types as the only collections known of these, but none belongs in Massalongia according to available data. Massalongia griseolobata (from Gough Isl.) is shown here to belong in the Pannariaceae and is part of the parmelielloid clade. M. intricata (from South Georgia) and M. olechiana (from South Shetland) have both recently been correctly transferred to the genus Steinera in the Arctomiaceae.

Dispersal of Fleshy Diaspores in the Seed Floras of the South Island (New Zealand) and Tasmania

Native Seed

The native seed-plant floras of South Island (New Zealand) and Tasmania are similar in size but the former is about twice as rich in species with fleshy diaspores than is the latter. In contrast, South Island has far fewer species with arillate or camnculate seeds than Tasmania. These differences in proportions may be attributed to the differential extinction of bird and ant species on the two islands during the Pleistocene Ice ages. Whereas South Island was relatively isolated at the time, Tasmania was closely connected to the Australian mainland providing refuges not available to South Island species. It is postulated that on both islands plants were less affected by glaciation than were animals. The types, sizes and colours of diaspores are similar in the floras of South Island and Tasmania, indicating that the lack of land mammals on the former island is not reflected in the dispersal biology of fleshy diaspores.

Co-operation on an international scale is not easy to arrange in the most prosperous times: in these days of financial stress the difficulties of ensuring sufficiently close collaboration to make the second Polar Year a complete success are very great. Since the July statement of the position, published in The Polar Record, ideas have become appreciably clearer as to what is really likely to be done by the various co-operating countries in the year's programme. It now seems that while the relative completeness of the network of stations in the northern hemisphere is assured, there will be little special activity in the southern hemisphere, except within the domains of each of the countries interested. France may have to abandon her Kerguelen and St Paul projects, and recent events in the Argentine, Brazil and Chile have reduced the expectation of co-operation from these countries in establishing special island stations or even extending their present work in the South Atlantic. New Zealand, however, may still find funds for meteorological observations on Macquarie Island, where the Mawson Expedition of 1912–13 had a station.

Literary Histories

This chapter discusses national literary histories in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific and summarises the book's main findings regarding the construction and revision of narratives of national identity since 1950. In colonial and postcolonial cultures, literary history is often based on a paradox that says much about their evolving sense of collective identity, but perhaps even more about the strains within it. The chapter considers the complications typical of postcolonial literary history by focusing on the conflict between collective celebration and its refutation. It examines three issues relating to the histories of English-language fiction in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific: problems of chronology and beginnings, with a special emphasis on Indigenous peoples; the role of the cultural elite and the history wars in the Australian context; and the influence of postcolonial networks on historical methodology.

To date, the majority of research on migrant identity negotiation and adjustment has primarily focused on adults. However, identity- and adjustment-related issues linked with global migration are not only related to those who have recently arrived, but are also relevant for their subsequent descendants. Consequently, there is increasing recognition by that as a particular group, the “1.5 generation” who were born in their home country but came to new countries in early childhood and were educated there. This research, therefore, investigates 1.5 generation South Koreans’ adjustment and identity status in New Zealand. More specifically, this study explores two vital social spaces—family and school—which play a pivotal role in modulating 1.5 generation’s identity and adjustment in New Zealand. Drawing upon in-depth interviewing with twenty-five 1.5 generation Korean-New Zealanders, this paper reveals that there are two different experiences at home and school; (1) the family is argued to serve as a key space where the South Korean 1.5 generation confirms and retains their ethnic identity through experiences and embodiments of South Korean traditional values, but (2) school is almost the only space where the South Korean 1.5 generation in New Zealand can acquire the cultural tools of mainstream society through interaction with English speaking local peers and adults. Within this space, the South Korean 1.5 generation experiences the transformation of an ethnic sense of identity which is strongly constructed at home via the family. Overall, the paper discusses that 1.5 generation South Koreans experience a complex and contradictory process in negotiating their identity and adjusting into New Zealand through different involvement at home and school.
