306 IOWA STUDIES IN NATURAL HISTORY 
A few words of acknowledgment are due our many New 
Zealand friends who helped the geologists in countless ways. 
To Professor P. G. Morgan, director of the Geological Survey 
we owe much for his generosity in furnishing indispensable maps 
and a nearly complete set of the Survey Bulletins. His associ- 
ates, Messrs. Marwick, Ferar, Henderson, and others, aided us 
greatly with advice concerning localities to be visited, routes to 
be followed and other points so valuable to strangers in a new 
region. 
Professor Bartrum accompanied us to places of interest about 
Auckland and presented us with several valuable papers and 
specimens. Professor Speight guided us over the Banks Penin- 
sula with which he is so familiar. Professor Park took us in 
hand at Dunedin and gave us much of his valuable time. We 
shall not soon forget an evening with him discussing the broader 
aspects of the geology of Australasia. Several fine specimens, 
among them some bones of the moa, were given us from his 
own collections. Dr. C. A. Cotton of Wellington piloted us 
over the region surrounding the Port Nicholson depression. We 
were much impressed with his mastery of the geomorphology of 
the area, and we owe much to him for many kindnesses shown 
us when at Wellington. The Hon. Mr. Thomson of the Legisla- 
tive Assembly gave us considerable valuable information drawn 
from his wide knowledge of the natural history of both islands. 
He presented a set of papers by his son, Dr. J. Allan Thomson, 
who, we regret, was quite ill at the time. These gentlemen and 
many others whom space forbids mentioning by name have our 
most grateful acknowledgments of their assistance. 
We look back upon New Zealand with keen pleasure and 
harbor a hope that some day we may again see her glaciers and 
geysers, her cold lakes and hot springs, her mountains and 
plains and best of all her sturdy, hospitable and broadminded 
people.
