HJ. MÖLLER AND T. G. HALLE, FOSSIL FLORA OF SE. SCANIA. 7 



Halle ^ as Sagenopteris conf. Mantelli (Dunk.) [8. Manielli 

 is a characteristic plant of the Wealden.] In the same paper 

 (p. 8) a Sagenofteris from Rödaisberg is mentioned as possibly 

 belonging to 8. Nilssonia-na (Brgn.) Ward. 



The species here stated to occur at Kurremölla are men- 

 tioned also by Nathorst - in 1910. Referring to the possi- 

 bility, first pointed out by Törnebohm & Hennig, that the 

 strata at Kurremölla may be inverted, Nathorst states that 

 the composition of the flora far from being in opposition to 

 rather seems to favour the idea that the plant-bearing strata 

 are younger than the Cardium-hed. He accordingly places 

 this deposit, under the name of the »Zone with Nilssonia 

 fallax», at the top of the table showing the different horizons 

 of the Rhaetic-Liassic series. Moberg,^ in the same year, 

 gives detailed descriptions of the principal exposures in the 

 district, but, beyond mentioning the most important of the 

 species of fossil plants, gives no further information on the 

 flora. 



In this paper the floras of Munka Tågarp, Rödaisberg and 

 Kurremölla will be described separately. 



1. The Flora of Munka Tågarp. 



Regarding the geology of the locality at Munka Tågarp 

 reference may be made to the foregoing review of the geolo- 

 gical exploration of the district, in particular to the section 

 shown (after Törnebohm & Hennig) in our text-fig. 1 (p. 

 4) and to Moberg's description (1893). The plant-bed lies 

 at the very base of the inverted coal-bearing series, only 1,5 

 m. from the contact to the Keuper. It has a thickness of 

 only 2 cm. and consists of a black, fractured clay which easily 

 breaks into small shivers. On account of this lithological 

 character of the rock the plant-remains found are very small, 

 measuring only a couple of centimetres at the most. In the 

 same bed occur also small fish-scales.
