Reid, Cl. and Mrs E. M. Reid. A further in vestigation of 

 the pliocene flora of Tegelen, (Versl. gew. Verg. Wis- en 

 Nat. Afd. Kon. Ak. Wet, Amsterdam, p. 262-271. 1 Taf. 25 Juni 

 1910.) 



This paper contains many interesting additions to the pliocene 

 flora of Tegelen, Holland. Among the novelties less than half 

 are now living in the Netherlands. In a few cases the species 

 are extinct, but these have not been described or named. The 

 newly discovered exotic forms are mainly related to species of 

 Ea stern Asia, a few are european. The authors still possess 

 many other seeds, which have not been mentioned in this paper. 

 Some of these belong to families, such as Labiatae and Hyperici- 

 neae, the seeds of which are not well represented in the herbaria. 

 Others belong to eastern genera. In view of the fact that the fruits 

 of many of the eastern species {Staphylea, Prunus, Araliaceae, Cor- 

 naceae, Viburnum, Carpinus) are quite unknown, they could not be 

 compared with the recent species. 



It seems that there is a close affinity between the pliocene flora 

 of Tegelen and the existing flora of parts of Eastern Asia. 

 The more we learn about the Tegelen flora (and about the other 

 dutch pliocene deposits) the more marked does this affinity become. 

 This fact may be of great interest for the history of plantgeo- 

 graphy.

The fruits and seeds collected in these localities have as yet 

 only partially been examined. The floras are certainly pliocene, but 

 it still remains an open question to which stage in the pliocene period 



i) Those marked with * are now living in the Netherlands.
