APPENDIX D. KAPITI ISLAND. (H. W. C. Mackintosh, Commissioner of Crown Lands.) The bountiful rainfall experienced during the year, and more especially during the summer months a period usually of a trying nature to the plant-life of the island —produced a remarkable growth, and never at any period during the year did the hardier plants receive a check. It was only during March that the more delicate shrubs, such as hangehange, and some of the ferns, showed signs of wilting. The undergrowth has become so dense in places that it has been found necessary to open up tracks along ridges which only a few years ago were absolutely bare of undergrowth and could be traversed without difficulty. Amongst the manuka, too, the undergrowth is coming up well, even in the southern part of the island, where wild sheep were plentiful a few years ago. This undergrowth comprises plants of the most useful kinds for the birds, as the majority of them belong to the Coprosma family. Other plants are houhou, makomako, hinau, miro, matai, tarata, horoeka, rangiora, and heketara, the bushlawyer, and clematis. Miro and matai are doing well on the ridges north of Taepiro.
