Abstract
AT intervals I have contributed to NATURE the results of the more recent investigations of insular floras, more especially in relation to the dispersal of plants by ocean currents, birds, and winds; and now, through the courtesy of the author and Captain Petrie, Honorary Secretary of the Victoria Institute, I am able to furnish a commentative summary of a lecture1 by Dr. H. B. Guppy, on the flora of the Keeling Islands.
