Barry writes:—«l beg to inform the bird that hails the night with delight that it is impossible for me to count the branches of the tree that commands the mathematician to live, for there are very few, if any, of them in Zealandia's beautiful forests. As an apteryx is unable to fly to the top of the beauteous rimu tree " that grows beside his motsolad house " in a land of flax and magnificent fern trees, I cannot accuse him of being able to count the " olive branches," or of flying to conclusions. Hoping that the sole representative of the great extinct moa will not take umbrage at the remarks of an ignorant New Zealander and crawl into a hollow log, but continue forwarding questions to the Mathematician, I remain, &o.,—Fkitz."
