List oi" the interglacial ilora and fauna 

 of Denmark 



(excluding the marine flora and Fauna). 



On pp. 255— (i.") is given a list including all the animals and piants from 

 the above-mentioned interglacial beds (both on primary as well as secon- 

 dary positions), as also from the freshwater /one of the Eem deposits 

 (Cyprina clay) and from the interglacial beds at Hollerup, Fredericia 

 and Trælle; the diatoms mentioned by E. Østrup from these beds are 

 however, out of regard for space, not included here. 



Under the heading oEem-zone« are included — in addition to the 

 piants mentioned by me (1908) — the freshwater animals given by V. Xord- 

 MANN (1908); it mav be remarked, that under this heading I have included 

 flora and fauna not only from the Danish localities, but also from Stcnsig- 

 mose Klint on Broager; Limnanthemum is only known from tbis locality. 



Under »Hollerup etc.« are brought together the interglacial animals and 

 piants known from Hollerup, Fredericia and Trælle (1). (i. I"., II. 1?. Nr. 9); 

 Phacotus and Chrysomonadineae were later noted trom liere by Lagerheim 

 (1902, p. 487). 



The list embraces in all ca. 313 species, 67 animals and 240 species of 

 piants.
