Abstract
This article considers that portion of the Auckland volcanic field included in the isthmus west of Tamaki Inlet. The volcanoes (late Pleistocene-Recent) are described in four groups: the dominantly tuff-producing volcanoes of the c.entral city area; the mainly effusive volcanoes of Wraitemata lava field; the volcanoes of Manukau lava field and the associated Epsom tuff deposit: and the volcanoes of Orakei and Glendowie. The features and eruptive history of the various centres are discussed and their effects on local geology considered.Keywords
