Introduction. 



Fossil plant-remains were discovered in the coal-bearing 

 Mesozoic deposits of south-eastern Scania by Prof. A. G. 

 Nathorst already in 1876. Though a small number of the 

 species have been identified by him and mentioned in the 

 literature on several occasions and a couple of others have 

 been described by the present writers, a connected treat- 

 ment of the flora has hitherto been wanting. In the present 

 paper all the fossil plants at present known from this series will 

 be described and the age of the different floras discussed. 

 The work was commenced by Hj. Möller, who has also 

 studied the stratigraphical conditions in the field and collec- 

 ted part of the material. The descriptions of the species 

 and the discussion of the correlation of the floras is the 

 joint work of both authors. In addition to the species al- 

 ready mentioned in the literature a number of others had 

 already been identified by Prof. Nathorst, to whom the authors
