It is doubtless to birds of this description that we owe some of the specific connections of Coprosma between groups of the Western Pacific. That the dispersal of the species over distant regions was recently in active operation is shown by the close affinity, according to Dr. Stapf, of two species growing on the summit of Kinabalu, the Bornean mountain, with certain species from New Zealand and South-east Australia. Other Rubiaceous species, like Nertera depressa, possessing Coprosma-like frui...ts and fitted for the same mode of dispersal, link the heights of Kinabalu with the flora of high southern latitudes. XXIV THE FIJIAN CONIFERS 297 Being included in the Fijian area, the scanty mountain-flora of Samoa may be here referred to. As in Fiji, the endemic genera of Compositae and Lobeliaceae are not to be found, but we find in the central elevated district of Savaii, which rises to over 5,000 feet above the sea, a peculiar species of Vaccinium (4,900 feet), the Antarctic Nertera depressa (4,000 feet), and two species of Wein- mannia, a genus hailing probably from high southern latitudes.
