flowers on Stewart Island were all yellow, while in the Otago alpine localities they are often white. The occurrence of this alpine plant at so low a level in Stewart Island, as well as its dwarfed proportions, give additional proof of the severity of the climate in this part of the colony. Near the summit of the more northerly of the Frazer Peaks, we gathered a robust form of Forstera sedifolia, which constitutes a very distinct, large-flowered variety, and may prove a distinct species. We also found here a robust form of what may prove to be Celmisia hectori, though I am inclined to rank this also as a distinct species. At all levels we found a new species of Ehrharta, which I have described under the name of E. thomsoni, in honour of my fellow-worker on the expedition. The description and drawings appear in the Transactions of the Institute for the past year. Ligusticum intermedium, which occurs along the south coast of Otago from Nugget Point to the western sounds, grew plentifully along the shore of the upper reaches of the port. In one or two sheltered spots in deep shade, we found excellent specimens of what appears to be Stilbocarpa polaris. The specimens were a little past flowering, but had not the fruit mature, so that we could not determine with accuracy whether it is identical with the plant found on Campbell Island and the Lord Auckland group. I may add here that on a former excursion Mr. G. M. Thomson collected Myrsine chathamica a little to the south of Port Pegasus. For the purposes of settlement the country around Port Pegasus is of no value whatever. The lower hills are clad with manuka, which has been partly burned off; but there is no grass land, and very few grasses of any kind are to be met with. Ehrharta thomsoni, though widely spread, is very small and of no economic value. A time may come when the granitic rock, so abundant here, may prove valuable; but its distance from any market, and the great facilities for working the inexhaustible stores of excellent building-stone found at Port Chalmers, will render the time at which it may be utilized very remote. On returning from Port Pegasus we proceeded to the Bluff. We had intended to visit Mount Anglem and explore the alpine flora likely to be found on it, but unfavourable weather prevented us from carrying out this part of our programme. Appended is a list of the flowering plants gathered by us. For the identification of the Coniferæ Mr. Thomson is responsible; the others have been examined by myself as well as by him. The list, which cannot be considered as by any means exhaustive, especially as regards the alpine plants, will be of considerable interest to botanists as extending the limits of distribution of some well-known forms.
