ARTICLE XXTH.-LIST OF CUYPTOGAMS (EXCLUDING ALGAE AND 



PTERIDOPHYTA) 



COLLECTED BY MEMBERS OF THE EXPEDITION TO THE SUBANTARCTIC 



ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. 



The numbers correspond to those of the specimens in the collectors' herbaria and 

 in the Royal Botanical Museum of Berlin. The Antipodes Island cryptogams are 

 here recorded for the first time ; they were collected by Cockayne in July, 1903. It 

 may be noted that no Snares species are in this list, this group, strange to say, being 

 almost without bryophytes, as pointed out by Kirk in 1891 (Rep. A.A.A.S., iii, 

 p. 217). The absence of these plants probably depends upon the close covering 

 of the ground by tussocks, the constant destruction of the vegetation by penguins, 

 and the absence of rata forest, with its hygrophytic interior.
