Illustrations of all of these species, with the exception of H. ciliatum, are 
given in Field's Ferns of ee ew Zealand (11). I must, however, point out 
that H. minimum and H. Armstrongii are there incorrectly red. Four 
species—namely, Н. atrovirens, Н. Malingii, T. Lyallii, and T. Colensoi— 
are figured in Cheeseman's F: llustrations of the New Zealand Flora, vol. 2 (T), 
and Н. Malingu also in a paper by L. Cockayne, published in The Plant 
World, entitled “Some Noteworthy New Zealand Ferns” (9). Three 
species are figured in the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute— 
viz., H. rufescens (vol. 11, p. 457), H. Armstrongit, and H. atrovirens (vol. 10, 
р. 394). Н. pulcherrimum is illustrated in J. D. Hooker’s Flora Novae 
Zelandiae, vol. 2 (15 
Н. bivalve and Т. humile, occur also in New South Wales (20, 21). In his 
Handbook Rodway notes that Н. rarum, Н. fiabellatum, and Т. venosum 
occur commonly in Tasmania on the stems of tree-ferns, H. australe and 
H. Tunbridgense on mossy rocks, and H. Malingii on the bark of Athrotazis] 
selaginoides, habitats peo are closely similar to those adopted by these 
species in the less wet parts of New Zealand. Two additional species— 
viz., H. multifidum and H. minimum—are found on Lord Howe Island (23), 
whose flora gives evidence of both New Zealand and Australian affinities.

Islands to the north-east, the Chatham Islands to the east, and the Sub- 
antarctic Islands to the south. None of these outlying groups possesses 
species of Hymenophyllaceae which are absent from New Zealand itself. 
As is well known, the New Zealand flora as a whole is composed of several 
distinct elements additional to that peculiar to the country itself—namely,
