of the work has been to show that, despite assertions to the contrary, 

 no trace of any Paleozoic flora has been found in these islands. Rumors 

 of the presence of Glossopteris-bearing rocks have no foundation in the 

 material studied. Even in Permo-Carboniferous times, when the 

 southern continent of Gondwanaland included a large part of the 

 Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand did not, on the basis of the known 

 evidence, form any part of that continent. Whether beds of Permo- 

 Carboniferous age do or do not occur, is not definitely known. 



So far as may be concluded from present evidence, the Mesozoic 

 land connections between Antarctica and the temperate regions of the 

 Southern Hemisphere appear to have been chiefly in the direction of 

 New Zealand and Australia. Although somewhat similar Wealden 

 floras are known in South America, the evidence is too meager to warrant 

 conclusions concerning its connection with other southern lands. 



The portion of the paper devoted to systematic paleobotany 

 includes the description of forty-eight species, all of which are figured. 

 The report includes an extensive bibhography.
