Supplementary Note. — After the manuscript of the foregoing paper had 
passed into the printer’s hands, the Macleay Memorial Volume of the Linnean 
Society of New South Wales came under my notice. This contains a paper by 
Professor R. Tate on the same subject, the title of which is given above. 
Professor Tate’s work has enabled me to make a few corrections, and two or 
three additions. His distribution-tables differ from mine in many small and 
unimportant details, in part doubtless owing to the difficulties of synonymy and 
the publication of incorrect names for some of the plants. I have not thought it 
desirable to modify or add to my distribution-tables from this source, because 
I think that in some cases, at least, the distribution given is doubtful, whilst in 
others it is incomplete. Thus the following Howe plants are recorded from 
Norfolk Island, though they do not appear in my table: — Drimys Howeana , 
Aletrosideros polymorpha , Viscum articulatum, Euphorbia Sparmanni, Malaisia 
tortuosa, Microtis porrifolia, Geitonoplesium cymosum , Sporobolus indicus , and 
Hymenophyllum multifidum. There is no great improbability about any of 
these, and I have found specimens of the Viscum and Geitonoplesium ; but the 
absence of Drimys and Metrosideros from our collections makes me a little 
doubtful concerning these two. He further records Lepidium foliosum and 
Mesembryanthemum aequilaterale from New Zealand, but there are no specimens 
at Kew. Echinopogon ovatus (Gramineae) and Aspidium decompositum , both 
common New Zealand and Australian plants, are additions to my list. 
I have also been able to add the title of another paper by Mr. C. Moore, 
previously overlooked by me, and not seen by Professor Tate. In this he deals 
with the distribution of the genera only of Howe Island plants, and arrives at the 
conclusion that this island, Norfolk Island, New Zealand, New Caledonia, and some 
parts of Australia were formerly connected. He mentions the genera Pre?nna and 
Pipturus. The specimen referred to the former is flowerless and indeterminable ; 
and the latter is probably a slip, and should be Elatostejna. — W. B. H.
