Biogeographical Relations of the New Zealand Region.

W. R. B. Oliver  
Abstract

Summary. 1There has been a continuous land surface in the New Zealand area since the beginning of the Mesozoic epoch. The early Triassic period appears to have been a time when there was a direct land connection with the north. In the late Triassic a flora consisting of Equisctales, Filicales, and Ginkgoales was common to New Zealand and other southern lands. This flora, together with Sphenodon, Liopelma, and possibly Peripatus, would date from the time of the former northern land connection.2In the later Triassic and in the Jurassic periods there were times when the land was lower and a long series of marine sediments was laid down. Throughout this time there flourished on the land surface a flora including Filicales, Cycadofilices, Podozamites, and the early forms of Coniferales. The Jurassic flora was nearly uniform in character throughout the world, extending beyond the Arctic and Antarctic circles.3In Cretaceous times the land in the New Zealand area was of continental dimensions.
