Excerpt from The Vegetation of the Chatham-Islands The pages of the first volume of Dr. Hooker's Manual on New Zealand plants, having passed through the printing - press before the Chatham-collections became available, the results of the present treatise could not be incorporated into that work, but will be acces sible for any appendix to the second volume. The author regrets not having had the advantage of consulting Dr. Hooker's publication, which has not yet reached Australia; but it may be anticipated, that the recent observations of that illustrious phytographer on the New Zealand plants and those on the chatham-flora recorded in this book, have led in many instances to the same conclusions.

Lost World of Rēkohu explores the extraordinary fossil record of one of the most remote regions of the planet--the Chatham Islands. Once the home of the mysterious Moriori people, this archipelago approximately 850km east of mainland New Zealand preserves a rock archive from a dynamic time in Earth's history when the southern continents were land-locked together near the South Pole 100 million years ago. Isolated for 83 million years, we now know since the dawn of the new millennium that this ancient region was heavily forested with both avian and non-avian dinosaurs, and the warm waters hosted the largest sea monsters--marine reptiles--that ever lived. This diversity of life on land and in the sea tells a tale never told before in Zealandia, the Moriori's magical land of the 'Misty Skies'.
