Banks and the other scientific gentlemen took occasion to ex- amine minutely the natural history specimens the place afforded. Garden seeds, pigs, and sheep were also left, in hope that they might extend and multiply in the island, which as yet had nothing of the kind ; horses and oxen were also unknown there. From Otaheite the Endeavour went on a southerly course, inclining westward, with the intention of seeking the great continent which some folks de- clared to exist in the high southern lat...itudes. Going on this course for about three weeks, during which time he visited several other of the Society Islands, Lieutenant Cook sighted the high land of what he supposed might be the great southern continent. It proved to be high land in New Zealand, a coun- try on which as yet no European had landed. Finding nothing that he wanted in the bay where he first put in, and unable to come to any under- standing with the people, Lieutenant Cook left the place, which he called Poverty Bay, and sought a convenient harbour elsewhere.
