Richard, doubt the identity of the plant of Hortus Kewensis and that of Forster. The latter says of the plum-like fruit of S. avlculare, which Cook's sailors ate when they observed that the birds did not refuse them, "' hujus baeem fulv~e, pruni majoris magnitudine, aeid~e, panlm dul- cescentes, subnauseos~e, ab Incolis Novae Zelandi~e avlde vorantur, avieulis etiam gratissim~e, neque nostratibus omnino rejieiendec." Solanum tuberosum, L., is enumerated by A. Richard in his ' Flora,' p. 194, although admitted to be a plant introduced by Europeans, and now generally cultivated by the natives, who call it Tihon. ~joecimen of the Botany of New Zealand, 461 MYOPORINEzE, R./~r.

A tree of very irregular growth on the rocky shores of the Bay of Islands, growing frequently within the range of salt water. That able missionary, the Rev. W. Yate, observes that "this tree from its hardness and durability has been denominated the New Zealand Oak, and indeed it seems to answer all the purposes of that prince of . The wood is of a dark brown colour, close in the grain, and takes a good polish ; it splits freely, works well, and de- rives no injury from exposure to the damp, twenty years' experience having proved that in that period it will not rot, though in a wet soil 46~ Specimen of the Botany of New Zealand.

and underground. For ship building it is (like the teak, which belongs to the same order) a most valuable wood ; as the injury which it has received from being perforated in various places, by a large grub peculiar to the tree, does not essentially diminish its value for the timbers of ships or for the knees of boats.
