Heaphy, explorer, surveyor, landscape artist and expert on the Coromandel goldfields, furnished Hochstetter with valuable information, and his maps, watercolours and pencil sketches from the excursion add visual evidence to the text. The diary is complemented by Auckland War Memorial Museum’s archival volume (MS-18) of receipts from Hochstetter’s visit and geological survey commissioned by the Auckland Provincial Government. text/html en_US Auckland Museum Trust Board Auckland Museum diaries Charles Heaphy Coromandel Ferdinand Hochstetter geology goldfields manuscript maps pencil sketches Waiheke Island watercolours Ferdinand Hochstetter’s trip to Coromandel and Waiheke Island, 7–13 June 1859 Research Article

However, there was doubt about this attribution, with the possibility the painting was by a contemporary or a 19th century pastiche of the 17th century Netherlandish style. With attribution of the painting unresolved, a technical art history survey of the painting was undertaken to inform understanding of when, where and who executed the painting. This included pigment analysis of the paint and dendrochronological analysis of the oak panel. Attribution of “The Music Lesson” to Jan Steen could not be refuted, but several hypotheses remain open, requiring further investigation of the artistic style. However, the use of specific pigments not used after AD 1700 and a terminus post quem date of AD 1623 for the oak panel provide clear indication of mid-seventeenth century Northern Europe in the period and place of manufacture. This aligns well with the composition, costume, and subject matter and rules out the likelihood of the work being a 19th century pastiche. text/html en_US Auckland Museum Trust Board Dendrochronology Dutch painting Jan Steen material analysis pigment Quercus sp. panel technical art history Material analysis of “The Music Lesson” from the Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum Collection Research Article

Auckland at the time was home to fledgling societies such as the Auckland Acclimatisation Society and the Auckland Institute, and the membership of these societies frequently overlapped. The overlap in these interests in Mackelvie’s case resulted in him frequenting the town of Hyères on the French Riviera later in life, a famous acclimatisation area. There, he made connections with other acclimatisers who also had a background in antiquities and could obtain material through them to send to Auckland. This antiquities trade, as well as broader acclimatisation activities, was in the context of the colonisation of Aotearoa, New Zealand, by colonial settlers and played a part in the colonisation process. Here, the collection history of material from the Swiss Lakes and Roman pottery from Hyères is outlined and discussed in the context of colonial Auckland and the antiquities trade in the nineteenth-century. text/html en_US Auckland Museum Trust Board Acclimatisation societies history of museum collections James Tannock Mackelvie Antiquities trade Acclimatisers and the antiquities trade in the late nineteenth century Research Article

Among the many activities of his academic career, Ehrhardt sought to make a record of all the ancient Greek and Roman coins in public collections across the country. As part of this project, Ehrhardt produced a series of unpublished documents describing and identifying 1,285 ancient Greek and Roman coins in the Auckland Museum, completed in 1991 after a nine-year period of sporadic work. Ehrhardt’s extensive contribution in this regard, though previously little known, has recently come to light thanks to the Museum’s ongoing project to further develop its extensive numismatic collections, which comprise approximately 30,000 coins, medals, and other objects from a wide range of historical and cultural contexts. Although Ehrhardt’s specialist focus concerned only a small portion of the overall numismatic collection, his meticulous work left the ancient Greek and Roman coin collection in an excellent position to become the starting point for developing the Auckland Museum’s future management of its numismatic holdings. This article details Ehrhardt’s background, life, and career before moving to focus on his work on the Greek and Roman coin collection, recording the legacy of an important contributor to the study of numismatics at the Auckland Museum. text/html en_US Auckland Museum Trust Board Chris T.H.R.

Soil was collected from five locations on both islands in November 2023. Soil Chemistry testing was conducted by Maanaki Whenua Environmental Laboratory, and, for Rangitāhua samples, further testing was carried out by Hills Laboratory. Key results: ∙ Soil pH was 6.16 ± 0.22 (mean ± SE) on Rangitāhua and 4.12 ± 0.25 on North Meyer Island. ∙ Soil organic carbon was 10.36% ± 1.09 on Rangitāhua and 11.39% ± 3.51 on North Meyer Island. ∙ Total soil nitrogen was 0.58% ± 0.039 on Rangitāhua and 0.77% ± 0.226 on North Meyer Island. ∙ Soil C:N ratios were 17.74 ± 0.93 on Rangitāhua and 14.16 ± 0.72 on North Meyer Island. ∙ Total phosphorus was 856.8 mg/kg ± 81.53 on Rangitāhua and 3462.8 mg/kg ± 908.74 on North Meyer Is. Soil nutrient concentrations offer critical insights into soil fertility, forest health and the functioning of soil microbial communities. The differences observed between the two islands may reflect variations in seabird abundance and disturbance history (including invasive mammals) and can inform future ecosystem management and conservation strategies. These results suggest that seabird presence is linked with lower pH and elevated phosphorus on North Meyer. Meanwhile, carbon and nitrogen values remain within a comparable range across both islands. text/html en_US Auckland Museum Trust Board Island Ecosystems Rangitāhua Seabirds Soil Chemistry Subtropical Islands Rangitāhua soil chemistry: A technical report on the chemical properties of Rangitāhua soils Short Communication
