Appendix to Report. 



The following analyses of the seeds and capsules of the Phornviu7)i tenax 

 were made in 1865 by Dr. Adriani. In the belief that they may pi-ove a nseful 

 addition to a report on Phormium tenax, I add them here as an Appendix. T 

 have not had the materials for verifying them at my disposal.
