Neuseeland” appearing in April 1859 28 under the pseudonym of ‘Julius Hanf’. 29 These mostly
popular-style narratives provide some of the best examples of Haast’s impressions of New
Zealand, combined with Hochstetter’s own, 30 without being overburdened by scientific
nomenclature and a focused geological perspective which his later reports to the Canterbury
Provincial Government illustrate. He followed this up with another series of articles entitled
“Streifzüge in Neu-Seeland: I. Eine Villegiatur in Auckland”, which again coincided with
Hochstetter’s unavailability to produce his own narrative and was published in the Allgemeine
Zeitung in December 1859, 31 and “Streifzüge in Neuseeland: Land und Leute in der Provinz
Nelson” which appeared in the Wiener Zeitung in March 1860. 32 That same year, through the
efforts of Hochstetter, Haast also had his geographical notes on their three-month excursion in the
North Island published in Petermann’s Mitteilungen aus Justus Perthes’ Geographischer
Anstalt. 33 As a result, the continued interest with his future explorations and findings, particularly
his explorations in the Southern Alps and his conclusions on the extinct moa, has produced a
number of contributions in not only the above journal, but also Das Ausland, Globus and
Westermanns Illustrirte Deutsche Monatshefte. 34

Hochstetter’s narrative appears to have been used as the basis for much of Haast’s account of the Drury excursion,
in conjunction with his own observations and conclusions, and appears in the New Zealand section of Scherzer’s
Reise der Oesterreichischen Fregatte Novara, although the author is only acknowledged in the ‘Volksausgabe’
(II:354-66). Haast’s depiction of the Novara’s official Maori welcome, however, is almost word-for-word the same
as the respective description in Scherzer’s account, who presumably edited this section with the aid of the above
article (ibid., II:297-302; cf. Karl von Scherzer, “Die Weltfahrt der Novara: Abschied von Sydney und Besuch von
Neuseeland”, in: Illustrirte Zeitung 34:866 4 Feb (1860): 99-102, 104).
