This signal is repeated three times at 15 second intervals. At 10h. The automatic time signal is repeated at l0h. There is no time signal at l0h. Between the automatic time signals, series of one-second dashes are sent in groups of one, two, four, or five, according as they precede the time signals at l0h.
Each set of dashes ends exactly at the 50th second. The intermediate dashes are for tuning purposes only, and must not be used as time signals. The signals sent on Tuesdays and Fridays at 20h. Special care is taken to ensure the accuracy of all the signals transmitted through station ZLW, and corrections to these signals are published monthly.

Time signals are supplied to station 2YA from the Observatory three times daily at l0h. The signals consists of dashes of three seconds duration, transmitted at l0h. Intermediate signals are also transmitted at 15h. The beginning of the dash represents the exact minute in every case. The signals above described are broadcast by station 2YA daily, except Sundays, when only the l0h. Station 3YA rebroadcasts the signals from station 2YA. The signals are regularly supplied from the Observatory, but their actual broadcast is controlled by station 2YA.
At 19h. At the Dominion Observatory Wellington these time signals are given daily, the lights being exhibited on a flagstaff, 6 ft. The green light is switched on at 20h. Simultaneous extinction of all the lights at 20h. The green light is used only on Tuesdays and Fridays, when an officer is on duty supervising the time signals. On other evenings only the red and white lights are used. Time-signal lights are also exhibited on the Ferry Buildings at Auckland on Tuesday and Friday evenings as follows: The green light is switched on at 19h.
The lights are extinguished by direct signal from the- Dominion Observatory, Wellington. If the signal fails, the red light continues burning until 20h. This time signal which was given by dropping the time-ball by direct signal from the Observatory at l0h. See the New Zealand Gazette No. In addition to the above time signals, the Dominion Observatory also supplies time signals to the Telegraph Office and the Railways Department, by telegraph, daily at 9h.
The telegraph office transmits the Observatory time signals by telegraph-lines to some 2, telegraph-offices in both Islands, to Stewart Island, and to the Railways Department. Telegraphic signals are also sent at 9h. At 15h. This clock may therefore be used as a time signal where very high accuracy is not required, experience having shown that it is always within a few seconds of the correct time. In using the General Post Office clock as a time signal, the first stroke of the hour should be taken as the time.
The following article on the New Zealand flora is by Dr. Though the unique features of he flora of New Zealand are frequently emphasized, it should not be thought that there are not other floras which might be described as having equally peculiar characteristics. Taking the plants of the whole world, differentiation has proceeded in all areas so that each is unique in some respects, and as a general rule the quality of uniqueness is most impressed in those areas which for a long time have been isolated, thus giving evolution the opportunity to proceed unhampered by intercrossing with adjacent floras.
The peculiar features of a flora are consequently an expression of its past history; and so those regions, such as South Africa, Western Australia, South America, and New Zealand, which, for considerable periods in their history, have been cut off from the remainder of the world, developed floras with many characteristics of surpassing interest. New Zealand is far distant from any continental mass and has maintained such a relation for a long period, probably throughout the whole of the Tertiary Era.
Briefly, the peculiar features of the plants of New Zealand are a high degree of endemism; great development of certain genera such as the koromikos hebe , karamus Coprosnut. In the following account a select number of species are mentioned for their interest in one way or another.

Among the many important discoveries of the late Dr. The prevalence of hybrids is, in fact, much more general than is apparent to the untrained eye. In a list recently published.
Cockayne and II. Allan record nearly five hundred native hybrids. Some, such as the crosses among the beeches Nothofagus and tutus Coriaria , take, in places, a prominent part in the vegetative covering. Taking the vascular plants—that is, flowering-plants, conifers, ferns, and lycopods —as a whole, by far the larger portion show affinities directly or indirectly with the plants of the Malayan region.
It is necessary to mention only such important examples as Carmicliaelia, Anistrfome, Aciphylla, Haaslia, Jlaoulia, Stilbocarpa, Entelea, and Myosotidium. The presence of this element is justification for stating that the basis of the New Zealand flora is Malayan, and that it came to the country by way of an ancient land connection. Supporting evidence of such a land bridge is found in the presence in New Zealand of some flightless species of birds and the tuatara lizard; also, in former times, of the large wingless moas.
Another important element in the New Zealand flora may be described as Australian, as it includes species either identical with or related to those found in Australia or Tasmania. Some belong to endemic genera, some are odd species belonging to large and characteristic Australian genera such as Phrbalhim, Persoonia, Myoporuni, and Epacris; and there are over species common to both sides of the Tasman Sea.
About a fourth of these are widely distributed in many other parts of the world. Of exceptional interest is the element in the New Zealand flora known as Antarctic because of its remarkable distribution and the fact that it has given rise to much controversy among biologists. Taking any of the southern continental lands, we find a considerable number of species related to those in the other cold temperate regions. Thus, in the New Zealand region there are about 70 species of vascular plants whose relations are with those in South America and the islands of the Southern Ocean.
The most conspicuous of the Antarctic plants in New Zealand are the beeches Nothofagus , fuchsias, broadleafs Griselinia , wild irishman Disraria , pukatea Laurelia , and ourisias. Some botanists explain the presence of the Antarctic element in New Zealand by an ancient southern land connection : others think that equally ancient dispersal from the north and accidental dispersal overseas are sufficient to account for them. All of these methods may have played their part. The internal distribution of the plants of New Zealand deserves brief notice. Some species occupy quite limited areas even on the mainland.
Hebe oblusata north of Manukau Harbour, Copiosma obcoyika in the Wairoa Gorge, and several species in the mountains of the South Island. More often, species of limited distribution are confined to islands: in fact, most of the islands at some distance from the coast have one or more species peculiar to them. Davallia Tasniani at the Three Kings. Perhaps of more importance than these cases of isolated distribution is the circumstance that on the main islands considerable numbers of species have their southern or northern limits at about the same latitude.

On this basis New Zealand may be divided into three botanical districts; and if other evidence be taken into account a number of provinces may be defined. Of especial interest are the kauri Agathi-s auslralis , taraire Beilschmiedia taraire , makamaka Ackama rosaefolia , mangrove Avicennia officinal is , pohutukawa [Metrosideros excelsq , and mairelmu Phebaliuni nudum. A brief review may now be made of the principal groups of plants found in New Zealand.
The vascular plants, which comprise ferns, lycopods, and their allies, conifers, and flowering-plants, almost entirely form the land vegetation of physiognomic importance. It is these which clothe the ground and are thus of so much importance to the beauty of the landscape.
