THE existence of southern families and genera with disjunct distributions, such as the Restionaceae and Nothofagus, has been used by many authors1,2 as evidence supporting continental drift. Some3 have stressed the importance of Antarctica as a Tertiary link between these presently disjunct areas without explicitly invoking the notion of drift. The presence of Nothofagus among the pollen and spores from Seymour Island, Antarctica4, supports such a suggestion.
