of Munka Tågarp described in this paper. Some distance 

 further west occurs the rust-coloured sandstone which in- 

 cludes the Flora of Rödaisberg. The section B, which is not 

 continuous with A but may be combined with it, represents 

 the higher (in the section lower) parts of the series with the 

 Cardium-heå, belonging to the lower part of the Middle Lias. 

 Still further S.W. follows the Cretaceous. The Rhaetic age of 

 the Munka Tågarp Flora, already stated by Nathorst, and its 

 position in respect to the Cardium-hQd clearly show that the 

 sequence of strata is inverted, as first proved by Moberg. 



Text-fig. 2 is a section of the corresponding beds at 

 Kurremölla, from the same work (Törnebohm & Hennig, 

 1. c, text-fig. 39, p. 113, after observations of Moberg). The 

 Silurian at the N.E. end of the section is separated, as at 

 Rödaisberg, by a fault from the plant-bearing series. The 

 fossiliferous horizon nearest the the fault-line is the Cardium- 

 heå which dips, as does the whole series, steeply towards 

 the Silurian in N.E. A considerable distance further S.W. 

 come the coal-bearing beds with the flora of Kurremölla. 

 As remarked above, the corresponding series at Rödaisberg 

 is inverted, and Törnebohm & Hennig point out that it 

 is but natural to suppose the same to be the case at Kurre- 

 mölla. The flora should then be younger than the Cardium-heå, 

 which would agree with its young character noted by Nat- 

 horst. In the table illustrating the sequence of strata, the 

 flora of Kurremölla is accordingly placed, with a sign of 

 interrogation, at the top of the Rhaetic-Liassic series of Sca- 

 nia (Törnebohm & Hennig, 1. c, p. 121). 



Recent contributions to our subject are chiefly of a pa- 

 laeobotanical nature. Möller described in 1908 ^ a new species 

 of Equisetites, E. Mohergii Moll, from Kurremölla. The 

 species is only compared with E. Münsteri Sternb. In 1909 

 Nathorst ^ stated that the supposed Anomozamites from 

 Kurremölla is a Nilssonia. It is recognized as a new species, 

 N. fallax Nath., with the remark that it may be regarded 

 as a forerunner to N. schaumhurgensis (Dunk.) of the Weal- 

 den. The following year another species was described by
