ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS, &c. 
Two valuable contributions to New Zealand botany have been published 
since the first part of this Handbook appeared, viz. Mr. Colenso’s ‘ Essay on 
the Botany of the North Island,’ which was printed for the Commissioners 
of the New Zealand Exhibition of 1865, and is full of interesting matter, 
which the author alone was able to supply, especially regarding the altitu- 
dinal and latitudinal ranges of the species ; the other is Dr. Mueller’s work 
‘ On the Vegetation of Chatham Islands,’ founded chiefly on Mr. W. Travers’s 
collections. 
For additional matter regarding the flora of New Zealand, I am especially 
indebted to Dr. Haast, Dr. Hector and Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Travers, Logan, 
Mair, Colenso, T. Kirk, Captain Bough, Drs. Knight and Lindsay.

Buclianani, and perhaps insignis.
