Of these species, 21 are predicted, and 56 not, a proportion considerably 
smaller (largely owing to the presence of so many endemics of Stewart 
Island) than that given at the end of the principal table above (28 against 
45 per cent.). No fewer than 14 of the 32 species given as wrongly predicted 
on p. 33 are included in this list, so that there only remain 18 species 
predicted that have not been found. 
The predictions given in the paragraphs numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 
remain as before, with slight numerical alterations. 
In prediction 7 (Stewart Island endemics) we must add nine new 
endemics to the ten there mentioned, as follows :
