This report is the same as Mr. Moore's botanical report printed 

 in No. 1 (and No. 2). From the date it is obvious that the 

 original intention was to present it to Parliament by itself, Ijut 

 that it was held back for incorporation with the reports of the 

 Water Police Magistrate and Mr. Hill, with which it forms No. 1- 



This is the publication quoted by Hemsley as " Moore, Rep."
