Description :
The paper explores a detailed account of the natural history of a single North Island sheep station written by its owner in 1921. By reading Tutira with a geographical eye, the local dimensions of the floral and faunal invasion of New Zealand are revealed. It illuminates the biogeographical processes by which New Zealand was transformed and offers insight into an important distinction between natural and environmental history.
