CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'Australia and New Zealand // Torres Strait on An enlarged Scale'

The islands of New Zealand are named with their early colonial names. Today's North Island is named as "New Ulster or North Island", today's South Island as "New Munster or Middle Island", and Stewart Island / Rakiura as "New Leinster or South Island". In 1907, the Minister for Lands gave instructions to the Land and Survey Department that the name Middle Island was not to be used in the future. The early colonial names of New Ulster, New Munster and New Leinster were established as provinces corresponding to each island by Royal Charter in 1840. The use of these names corresponding with the islands fell into disuse after the islands were subdivided into a several smaller provinces from 1853.
