a number of which have been found to be important and wide-ranging 

 types, and settled the Cenomanian age of the deposits. 



The announcement of the discovery of similar plant-bearing beds near 

 Kunstadt was made by Krasser 1 in 1889, and these were fully described 

 by the same author 2 in 1896. Still more recently additional collections 

 have been made from the Moletein quarries. These have not been 

 described except in a brief preliminary paper published by Krasser 3 in 

 1901, and evidently large collections remain unstudied. 



With the exception of the indefinite remains from the younger beds 

 around Kwassitz and Kremsier described by docker, 4 no other contribu- 

 tions have been made to the Upper Cretaceous paleobotany of Moravia. 

 Combining the work of the above-mentioned authors results in the follow- 

 ing list of Cenomanian plants from Moravia :
