Piate II. 

One of the well-known young Kauri 
trees in the Auckland Domain, 
planted in 1865 (T'rans. N.Z. Inst., 
p. 374), and thus now fifty-one years 
old. It measures 16in, diameter at 
5 ft. above the ground and is 52 ft. 
high. The handkerchief spread at 
the base is 18in. Trees of this size 
are now actually being milled in 
some places.
