SEED DISTRIBUTION.
An interesting observation on this matter was conducted by Mr. L. W. McCaskill, of Dunedin, who last winter fed waxeyes in his garden from the middle of May until early in October. Beneath the food receptacle the soil was prepared as a seed-bed in a strip 6 feet long by 6 inches wide. On the Bth April, 1931, the following seedlings were removed from the strip and planted out: — 85 Pittosporum tenuifolium (Kohuhu) and eugenioides (^Tarata). 18 Coprosma lucida (Karamu). 19 Small-leaved Coprosma. 10 Carpodetus serratus (Putaputaweta). 3 Nothopanax Colensoi (Orihau). 5 Pseudopanax Crassifolium (Lancewood Horoeka). 4 Melicytus ramiflorus (Mahoe).
