Abstract
Summary Of the 23 pollen types recorded during pollen analysis of a surface sample from the northern slopes of Mt Galloway, Antipodes Island, 15 were derived from the New Zealand mainland some 480 miles (ca. 770 km) to the north-west. Of these derived grains Nothofagus fusca type and Pinus were the most frequent. Fern spores were far more numerous than pollen grains, and although these may be over-represented, they reflect the importance of ferns in the vegetation of Antipodes Island. Although spores of the recently recorded Phymatodes diversifolium occurred in the sample, none were recorded in Post-glacial peat samples examined in 1959.
