Skottsberg, C. Notes on the Relations between the Floras of Subantaretic America 
and New Zealand. Plant World, vol. 18, pp. 129-42, 1915. 
An extremely important paper by the foremost investigator of subantaretic 
plant geography. A full and critical list is given of all the species of seed-plants 
common to subantaretic America and New Zealand. The author attributes the 
presence of identical species, &c., in the two areas in part to former land-connec¬ 
tions or land-extensions and in part perhaps to trans-oceanic migrations. Also, 
many species would become extinct during the Ice Age. 
Willis, J. C. The Distribution of Species in New Zealand. Annals of Botany, 
vol. 30, pp. 437-57, 1916. 
This paper is an attempt to bring forth evidence from the distribution of the 
species of Angiosperms in New Zealand in support of the author’s theory that the 
endemic species of a flora are as a whole younger and rarer than the non-endemic 
species, and that natural selection is not responsible for the actual distribution 
of species.
