Fuscliia and Passi flora are common to New Zealand and South

New Zealand and South America have 74 genera in common, 
11 identical and 32 closely allied species. 
That Earth-movements, on a widely extended scale, have occurred 
in the South, is evidened by the very late elevations and subsidences 
which have taken place in parts of the Andean chain and in 
Tierra-del-Fuego, also in Kerguelen Island, Eastern Australia, 
Tasmania, New Zealand, and the Chatham Islands ; whilst the vast 
upheaval of the Himalayan range itself is only of newer Tertiary age. 
Dr. Woodward’s address was illustrated by about fifty-eight lantern slides, 
a great number of which were beautifully painted pictures of Birds by 
Kiilemann, kindly lent by Dr. H. 0. Forbes, Director of the Liverpool 
Museum, and a series of Arctic views and maps kindly lent by the Royal 
Geographical Society, besides a number prepared expressly for his address, 
by Dr. H. Woodward.
