Addendum.

In sending you this printed copy of my three omitted Papers, (which you will see are so printed as to correspond with the "Transactions N. Z. Institute," and therefore could be bound up with them,) I would inform you, that I have by me 2 other Papers of mine, read here before our Members in 1878,—giving an account of my early explorations on the Ruahine mountain range and my crossing it, in 1845, etc., with especial reference to its Botany. Those Papers were also omitted at that time by the Board at Wellington; although they did offer to publish an abstract of them in the "Transactions."

If you should be pleased with the 3 Papers now printed, and would like to subscribe (say, 3/., or 4/. at most,—those 2 Papers being larger,) for the printing of those 2 Papers on the Ruahine, I will thank you to let me know early: for, if a sufficient number of copies should be subscribed for by the Members of our Society to save me from heavy loss, I will also get those 2 Papers printed,—as a memorial of early times in Hawke's Bay.
