The  species in common belonging not to Antarctic genera, but the representative species belonging to in many cases Antarctic genera, does not seem to me to accord with intermediate land. These species have travelled all out of centre across whereas no representative species has travelled far less, distance across

The plants in this list do not appear to be those which have arrived at south by Cordillera.

This is list of references to remarks on Genera in the New Zealand Flora, since rubbed out, where I thought might be useful in considering the whole Flora, but Hookers M.S. lists I think supersedes these uses.—

Plants common to Chile not Fuegia & New Zealand found only in southern hemisphere

12 species

These genera, Hooker says are not particularly wide rangers; but species with restricted ranges.—
Nothing particular is short.—

The Casuarina are quite absent in N. Zealand & makes another strong case like Eucalyptus. There are 2 (but distant species) of Proteeceae in N. Zealand; no Banksia; but yet in Tert. deposit from Flinders Isld there is a Casuarina  & Banksia, showing that probably these forms anciently in Antarctic —

He is sure that there are plants on mountains in N. Zealand, not fd in intermediate low country.

Thinks nothing known of age of trees, some silicified, in Kerguelen Land.—

The species in common in the Antarctic land being generally mountain land, according to analogy, of N. hemisphere, strongly supports idea of migrations from now sterile Antarctic Pole.

In conversation

In Tristan the Phylenca (?) is a decidedly Cape genus with many cape species, but distinct species: the Geranium he believes is identical with New Zealand species.— A very peculiar group lately fd a spartine identical with species on the Pauls & Amsterdam. L? Howe's Isld very intermediate in flora between Australia & New Zealand. Chatham Isd very little known — New Zealand in character but with some at least distinct species, Auckland & Campbell he thinks more part of New Zealand Flora than when published, not mountains of S. New Zealand unknown.—

Sir James Ross voyage for soundings & maps Hooker doubts much peculiarity in Pacific islands.— Think like Loriesiale, part of Malay Flora

did not answer my argument that then facts show land never continuous.—
