Mollusca of the southern islands of New Zealand, Cape Expedition, 1941-1945

This report is based on the collections of specimens and data in the Auckland and Campbell Islands in the years 1941-45. Early in 1941, coast-watching stations were established at Port Ross, Carnley Harbour, and Perseverance Harbour, and the personnel of from three to five men at each were relieved once a year. Standing instructions issued by the Navy Office included a recommendation that the men should, in addition to service routine, record general observations on natural phenomena. This report is regarded as of the Cape Expedition which was the war-time code name for parties in the field between 1941 and 1945.

本报告基于1941年至1945年间对奥克兰群岛和坎贝尔群岛的标本和数据的收集。1941年初，海军办公室设立了海岸监视站于罗斯港、卡尔尼港和坚持港，每站配备三至五人，每年轮换一次。海军办公室发布的例行指令中包括一项建议，即除执行常规任务外，人员还应记录有关自然现象的一般观察。本报告被视为战争时期代号“角探险队”的实地行动报告，该代号是1941年至1945年间现场行动的代称。
