Kaiẁaraẁara. At the southern end of the western shore of Wellington Harbour. Reclamation has radically altered the shoreline in this area. This was the starting point of the track over the hills to the villages on Cook Strait, but Colenso would have passed it going to and from Wellington. 5? May 48; 7 Apr 49. *Kaokaoroa; Te Kaokaoroa; plains, Kaokaoroa. The Kaokaoroa Range is west of the Tukituki River, opposite Opapa. The name occurs in a list of 31 January 1853. *Te Kapa. Buchanan cites two localities of this name, one near Lake Roto-o-kiwa, the other near the Tukituki River on the other side of the Kaokaoroa Range. Colenso on one occasion associates the name with Kaokaoroa, so presumbably the second of Buchanan’s places is intended. 8-9 Mar 49. Te Kape,
Best shows it on the east bank of the Whakatane River at the junction with the Mangaorongo Stream. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows it further downstream. *Te Kapemaehe; Te Kapemaihi. Probably renamed Petani (Bethany) at about Christmas 1848. The Journal first mentions Petani in January 1849. 17-18 Jan, 16-18 Jun 45; 21-22 Apr, 3-4, 8-10 Jun, 21-25 Nov 46. 12-15 Jun, 27-28 Aug, 1 Sep 47; 22-23 Feb, 9-10, 14-15 Aug, 13-14 Oct, 16-17 Oct 48.

See Kahumingi. *Kaupapa, Poverty Bay. The first of the mission stations to be built on the Waipaoa River, Poverty Bay. Porter (p. 624) shows the station at the junction of the Waipara and Arai Rivers. See also Turanga. 10-20 Dec 41. Kaupekahinga, “A native village on the banks of the Ruamahanga river.” Not located but presumably between Greytown and Martinborough. 19 Apr 49. Kaurinui. Kaurinui Creek flows into the Bay of Islands near the south head land of Waikare Inlet. 24 Jan, 25 Sep, 20 Nov 36. Te Kawakawa, Bay of Islands. Modern Kawakawa, on the river of the same name, which rises near Kaikohe and flows into the southern end of the Bay of Islands. Colenso made visits at two-weekly intervals for nearly the whole of his residence in the Bay. *Te Kawakawa, East Cape. Modern Te Araroa. [16? Jan 38]; 23-25 Nov 41; 19-21, 23-25 Oct 43. *Kawatau River, interior. Kawhatau River, a tributary of the Rangitaiki entering north of Mangaweka. The river is mentioned in the list of June 1850 and would have been crossed in November 1849. Kaweka, Mt, ½ way between H. Bay and Taupo (“brought me by one of our surveyors”74). The Kaweka Range, at the head of the Tutaekuri River. Kereru (“Kerera”) lake. Lake Tauanui, about eight miles SSE of Kaikohe. So identified by Bagnall & Petersen and Colenso’s route leaves no doubt of the correctness of this conclusion. 5 Jun 36. *Kerikeri. The locality on Kerikeri Inlet, Bay of Islands. 15 Jan, 2 May 35; 20-22 Apr,?-4 Nov 37; 22-24 Aug 38; 11-12 Apr 39. Kerikeri waterfall, Bay of Islands. Kerikeri Falls, on the River to the north of the town of Kerikeri. Te Koau. A “watering place” on the coast south of Castle Point. This is possibly the Ngakauau Stream. 14 Mar 45. *Kohinurakau. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 206) show this village on the west bank of the Tukituki River, southwest from Pakipaki. 12-20 Sep, 18-20 Oct 45; 27-28 Jan, 23-24 Jun, 6-7 Oct 46; 6-8 Jan, 9-10 Sep, 29-30 Nov 47; 21-22 Sep 48; 1-4 Jun, 22-25 Oct 49; 9-11 Jul, 15-16 Nov 50; 27-28 May, 8-9 Aug, 30-31 Dec 51; 19-20 Jan, 21-22 Jul,18-20 Aug 52. Kohumaru.
Kohuraanake. See Kahuraanake. *Te Kohurau. Colenso’s description suggests Kuripapango, 4100 feet alt., between the Ngaruroro and the headwaters of the Tutaekuri Rivers. This is also borne out by Buchanan (p. 142). 16 Feb 52. Kopau River, “the upper part of the Kawakawa.” Possibly the Pokapu Stream, a southern tributary of the Kawakawa catchment. 1-2 Jun 36. *Te Kopi. On the east side of Palliser Bay, just north of the mouth of the Putangirua Stream. 20-24 Mar, 2-3 Apr, 6-10 Nov, 18-21 Nov 45; 2-4 Mar, 13-17 Mar, 11-16 Sep 46; 15-19 Mar, 30 Apr-4 May, 22-26 Oct 47; 27 Apr-1 May, 19-24 May, 9-13 Nov 48; 30 Mar-2 Apr 49; 17-19 Apr 51; 6 Apr 52.

This suggests that the wood was at the base of Te Iringa (4073 feet alt.) in State Forest 90. Te Kotukutuku. Not located. Colenso describes it as being “at the head of the Wairarapa valley” and “on the edge of the river, and entrance to the long forest.” Assuming the river to be the Ruamahanga, the vicinity would appear to be Mt Bruce, north of Masterton. 12-13 May 51. *Kowhaia River,
Te Kupenga. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 175 & 66) place Te Kupenga on the Rangitaiki River upstream from Te Rekemanuka, but Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows it slightly downstream. 23 Jan 44. Kuraẁaẁanui, Mr Barton’s sheep station. The Whawhanui River reaches the sea at White Rock, Wairarapa coast. 19 Mar 45; 2 Mar 46; 5 May 47; 21 Oct 47. *Kuripapango.

One of the headwaters of the Tukituki, rising in the Ruahine Mountains and joining the Waipawa River. 26-27 Feb 47; 11-13 Jan, 14 Dec 48; 28-29 Oct 51; 26-27 Feb 52. Maketu.
*Manawarakau.
*Manawatu. For the present purposes, this district is treated as being between the Te Whiti clearing in the north and the tributaries of the Manawatu River in the southern Hawke’s Bay. 24 Mar-6 Apr, 23 Sep-2 Oct 46; 27 Mar-6 Apr, 15-23 Nov 47; 29 Mar-11 Apr, 21-27 Nov 48; 13-21 Mar 49; 3-11 Apr 50; 12-23 May 51; 17-25 Mar 52. *Manawatu River; District. The main river draining the eastern side of the southern Ruahine Ranges. Colenso knew this river only on its eastern reaches, as he never entered the Gorge. *Mangahane River; Mangohane River. The Mangaohane River rises on Otupae, the northern outlier of the Ruahine Ranges, and enters the Rangitikei River. 17 Oct 51; 18 Feb 52. Manga-a-noka River. Possibly the Mangaone River which flows north from headwaters east of Ekatahuna. 27 Mar 46. *Mangamako, “a little wood” near the Rangitaiki River. Not otherwise identifiable. 6 Jan 42. Mangamauka, “a small rivulet.” Mangamauku Stream is a tributary of the Waikaretaheke River, entering it on the north side near Rosskeen. 19 Dec 43. *Mangaonuku River. On the edge of Ruataniwha (Takapau) plains. The river flows south to join the Waipawa River to the west of the town of Waipawa. 5-7 Feb 45; 29 Dec 47. Mangare, Wangarei. A Mangere Stream joins the Wairua River near Kokopu west of Whangarei: Colenso’s village was probably on this stream. 25 Feb 36. *Mangarewa River. Rises on the Mamaku Range and flows northeast to join the Kaituna in the Bay of Plenty. 13 Jan 42. Mangaotai River. Not located. Te Mangaroa River. The Mangaroa River which flows north through Whitemans Valley to join the Hutt River at Te Marua north of Upper Hutt. 4-5 Nov 47. *Mangatainoka River. Rises in the Tararua Ranges near Ekatahuna and flows north past Pahiatua to join the Manawatu near the Gorge. 30 Mar 46; 16-17 May 51. *Mangataẁainui River. This is a northern tributary of the Manawatu between Norsewood and Matamau. 6 Apr 46; 10-11 Apr 50. Mangataẁiri.

See also Ruatahuna. 3 Jan 42; 8 Jan 44. Mangatété. Probably Mangatoetoe, near Kaiaka. 8 Apr 39. Mangati Beach. Not located but presumably one of the beaches near the Mimiwhangata Peninsula. 20-21 Dec 39. *Mangatuna. On the Uawa River, inland from Marau Point, between Anaura and Tolago Bays. 6-7 Dec 41. *Mangaiwai. Mangawhai Harbour or Estuary is about three miles south of Bream Tail. 14 Feb 42. Mangaiwata, A “fearful pass”. The Mangawhata Stream follows the line of the Taupo-Napier Road (Highway 5) from Titiokura Summit to the Mohaka River. The “pass” was a dangerous crossing of the stream. 23, 30 Apr 46; 11 Feb 47. Mangaẁero, “a small village about four miles from Mr Stack’s Rangitukia.” Bagnall & Petersen show it on the Waiapu river upstream of Rangitukia and Pukemaire, but Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows it WNW of Rangituklia! 23 Oct 43. Mangohane River. See Mangahane River. *Mangungu. The Wesleyan mission station on the Hokianga River, about 25 miles from the heads; on the south bank of the Waihou River near the confluence with the Mangamuka River. 21-22 Mar 39. *Manukau Bay. Modern Manukau Harbour. 1-4 Feb 42; 10 May 43; 1, 5 Feb 44. Maraetai, (Fairburn’s Mission Station). On the south shore of Tamaki Strait, east of Howick. 3-12 Feb 38. Maraetai, (Maunsell’s Mission Station). On the south bank close to the mouth of the Waikato River. 29 Jan-1 Feb 42. *Maraetaha River, H. Bay. The name occurs only once, and that amongst specimens from the vicinity of Kahuranaki (list of June 1850). It is probably an error for Maraetotara, which river flows past the foot of Kahuranaki. *Maraetotara River, at base of Kahuranake Hill. Enters the sea east of the Tukituki River. The name occurs in the list of 31 January 1853. Maramanui River. This name is not now recognized. Colenso appears to apply the name to the Wairua River above the falls. 25 Feb 36. Maramatitaha, “a high precipitous & very dangerous cliff.” Apparently the cliffs at the eastern end of Whangaimoana Beach, Palliser Bay. 3 Apr 45. Marumaru. Marumaru is shown on Arrowsmith’s 1850 map as being on the Whakatane River downstream from the junction with the Waikare Stream. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 66) show it in the angle between the two streams. 15 Jan 44. Maruteangi, “on the E. bank of the Wakatane river … about 12 or 14 miles from Pipi.” Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows Maruteangi at the beginning of Colenso’s route to the villages of Maungapohatu. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 66) mark Omaruteangi at the junction of the Whakatane and a stream from Maungapohatu, presumably the Manangaatiutiu. 9-10 Jan 44. Mata,
Te Mata Point near Pupuwai Creek, Hokianga Harbour. Drury (1853, p.870) mentions “an Englishman’s house (Munro)” at the point. 22-23 Mar 39. Te Mata. A sulphur spring between the Whakatane and Rangitaiki Rivers. 22 Jan 44. Te Matau-a-maui. Cape Kidnappers. Colenso also applies the name to the ridge leading to the Cape. 8 Dec 43. Te Matai. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows Te Matai on the south bank of the “Waikaretaheki” River, upstream from the confluence with the Waiau. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 66) show it on the north bank opposite the confluence. Colenso’s description favours the Arrowsmith position. Matai is a modern location on the south bank downstream from the confluence. 19 Dec 43. (Bagnall & Petersen p.169 give Colenso’s arrival as the 18th). *Mataikona. The Mataikona River enters the sea a short distance north of Castle Point. Nov 16-1 Dec 43; 12-13 Mar, 11-15 Apr, 25-29 Oct, 26-28 Nov 45; 19-23 Feb, 29 Aug-3 Sep 46; 13-18 May, 11-13 Oct 47; 2-6 Jun, 31 Oct-1 Nov 48; 28 Apr-1 May 49; 9-12 Mar 50; 4-7 Apr 51; 17-21 Apr 52.

Matapouri is about one mile south of Sandy Bay. 19 Dec 39; 23-24 Sep 41; 6-7 Oct 41; Oct 42. December 1837 and March 1841 are mentioned in Icones Plantarum 6: t. 567. 1843. *Matarauẁi, “near Cape Kidnapper; Mataraua.” Presumably the same place as Matarauwe on Bagnall & Petersen’s map (p. 206) and located about 8 miles south of Cape Kidnappers. 4 Dec 45; 10 Feb 46; 17-18 Oct 49; 21 Mar 51. Mataruahou. The headland of the Bluff Hill, Napier, now overlooking the Port of Napier. 12 Dec 43. Te Matata. Bay of Plenty. Colenso’s description indicates that the Rangitaiki River at this time reached the sea to the west of its present mouth. This is confirmed on Arrowsmith’s 1850 map on which the Rangitaiki and Tarawera Rivers have a common mouth. Matata is described as on the south bank and a position east of the modern town is indicated. 23 Jan 44. Matatoto, “our old sleeping place.” On the Makaroro River, and probably close to the confluence with the Waipawa. 29-30 Oct 51. Matatu,
“Two and a quarter hours’ march from Huaangarua on the way to Te Ahiaruhe.” Not further identified, although Porter (p. 421n quoting Bagnall) refers to “the Matatu track” up the Wairarapa Valley. 19 Mar 46.

Maungapohatu, a prominent ridge on the western side of the Huiarau Range, overlooking the Ruatahuna valley. 11 Jan 44. *Maungarei. Not located and not mentioned by Buchanan. It is noted by Colenso in the entry for October 16, 1851, as having been crossed the previous day on the march over steep fern-covered hills between leaving the Ngaruroro River and reaching the Kuripapango ford. The Clematis mentioned in the Journal entry is possibly “4251 Clematis …” of the list of 31 January 53. 15 Oct 51. Maunga Tapu.

Ngamahanga. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map and Bagnall & Petersen (p. 66) show Ngamahanga on the west bank of the Whakatane River, not very far below the confluence with the Waikare Stream. Best’s map shows it on the east bank. 16 Jan 44. Ngamoerangi. “… the important coastal pa … long since swept away by the sea” (Guthrie Smith, Tutira, 1921, p.64). Colenso indicates Ngamoerangi as being an hour’s walk from Te Kapemaihi and a short distance from Tangoio. This would suggest that the village was in the vicinity of Whirinaki Bluff, possibly on the Pakuratahi Stream. 18-20 Jan 45. *Ngapihao, “A romantic and craggy point of land … about 2 miles from Ẁaraurangi.” Ngapihau. Not definitely located. 12 Apr 51. Ngaromaki The Bluff, on Ninety Mile Beach. 30 Mar, 1 Apr 39. Ngaroto. Ngaroro, summit of Ruahine.
