of the European Teiticiry, and to A. viacklnlaiji, of the Aus- 

 trahan Eocene flora, the other related to A. tahcrnccmontana, 

 of the fossil flora of Eadoboj ; an Elaodcndrov, corresponding 

 to E. helveiicHin, of the European Tertiary flora, and to E. 

 curtiyendulum, a native of Norfolk Island. 



IV. At Malvern Hills, the following species have been 

 found: An .4ra?/crt?'m and a Dammara, both also occurring afc 

 Shag Point ; a Myrica, representing the widely-spread Tertiary 

 Myrica lujnitnm ; a Quercus, coining also from Shag Point ; 

 a Fagus, corresponding to F. wilkinsoni, of the Australian 

 Tertiary; a Plancra, which appears also at Shag Point and at 

 Murderer's Creek ; a CissojdiyUuvi, approaching the genera 

 Cissites and Am2)elophyllnm. 



V. At Eedcliffe Gully the following species have been 

 found: An Almis and a Qiiorus, both also occurring at Shag 

 Point; a SajyhuJiis, corresponding to S. faJcifoliiis, of the- 

 European, and to S. caiidaiiis, of the American, as well as to 

 *S'. gossei, of the Australian Tertiary flora. 



VI. From Weka Pass a DapJviopliyllnvi, related to 1). 

 oJUiHicum, Heer, has been collected. 



VII. At Amuri a fragmeiit of wood has been discovered. 

 I referred it to Dammara oweni, a sj^ecies occurring also at 

 Sliag Point and at Malvern Hills. 



VIII. At Murderer's Creek the following species have ap- 

 })eared : A Quercus, a riancra, a Cinnamomum., and a Cassia,. 

 all also collected from the preceding localities, I.-V. ; a Dry- 

 (indra, closely related to D. aciitiloha, of the European, and 

 to D. bentiuuui, of the Australian Tertiary flora. 



The strata containing remains of Dicotyledons in New 

 Zealand have been collectively called " Cretaceo-Tertiary." 

 I have pointed out that some of the strata must be referred 

 only to the Cretaceous, and the others only to the Tertiary 

 formation. The latter having already been taken into con- 

 sideration in the preceding exposition, I now proceed tO' 

 explain the results of my investigations on the fossil flora of 

 the Cretaceous formation. The Cretaceous flora of New 

 Zealand has up till now^ been collected from four localities — 

 namely, PakaAvau, Grey Kiver, Wangapeka, and Keefton. It 

 contains thirty-seven species, distributed into twenty-nine 

 genera and seventeen families. Of these species, four are 

 Cryptogama', eight Couifene, four Monocotyledons, thirteen 

 Apetalee, and eight Dialypetalte. Gamopetahe are wanting 

 here. Several species seem to be the ancestors of Tertiary 

 ones, particularly of the genera As2ndium, Podocarinis, Dacry- 

 diiim, Quercus, Fagus, Uinius, Ficus, Cinnamomum, Dryaiir 

 droidcs, C'cralopctalum, Cupanites, &c. According to the closer 

 relationship of some of tliese species to Tertiary one«, we
