In the “Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania,” 1887, Mr. R. M. Johnston, F. L. S., states that in the Miocene beds of Tasmania trees of European genera abound. The Mesozoic flora of that island is of the usual conifero-cycadean type. Ettingshausen makes a similar statement in the “Geological Magazine” respecting the Tertiary flora of Australia and New Zealand, stating that, like the Tertiary floras of Europe, they have a mixed character, being partly of types now belonging to the northern hemisphere.
