Stumps of Trees supposed to have been cut down by Captain Cook, in 

 March, 1773, on Astronomer's Point, Piokersgill Cove, Dusky Sound, for the 

 purpose of securing a firm base for his observing instruments, when determining 

 the longitude of N.Z. In December, 1863, when one of these stumps was secured 

 for the Dunedin Museum by Dr. Hector, they were overgrown by a growth of 



large forest trees -
