Excerpt from The Vegetation of the Chatham-Islands
To offer a trifling contribution towards such an object is the aim of these pages. If under any circumstances a deep interest is attached to isolated islands, which harbour perhaps the only remnant of the vegetation or the animal life of countries ages ago sunk beneath the ocean, this interest cannot be otherwise than most vividly excited in regard to the Chatham - Islands, inasmuch as this little group is the last eastward of New Zealand, no further land existing under those latitudes in the wide interjacent oceanic space until the west coast of South America is reached.
