Abstract
THE earlier edition of this book, published in 1910, was described as the first attempt to deal with the plant life of the New Zealand biological region on ecological lines. The second edition is virtually a new book. As an instance, the number of photographs which form so helpful an addition to the text has been increased to ninety-nine, and fifty of these did not appear in the original work. But the author and his subject are the same, and no one is so well qualified to describe New Zealand plant ecology as Dr. Cockayne.
