PRESS OPINIONS.

The second edition is virtually a new book. No one is so well qualified to describe New Zealand plant ecology as Dr. Cockayne.—Nature, London.

The story which Dr. Cockayne has to tell is wonderful, and the manner of his telling is full of charm. He gives no bare catalogue of plants nor bald descriptions, but shows by pen and picture the wonderful vegetation of those happy islands.—Gardeners’ Chronicle, London.

The book will be treasured by all who find refreshment away from the cities and petty affairs of men. Dr. Cockayne’s style is as brilliant as it is simple.
