Kirk.— On the Botani/ of Antipodca Island. 439

 orders, or an average of 2-8 species for each order, allow- 

 ing for the naturalized forms. This is a low average even for 

 a New Zealand district, especially when it is remembered the 

 Comyositce, Cypcracece, Gramincce, and Filiccs comprise more 

 than one-half the total number of species.
