AUSTRIA-HUNGARY 



The dual monarchy is celebrated in the annals of paleobotany, not only 

 as the home of Sternberg, Corda, Unger, and Ettingshausen, but also 

 for its profusion of Tertiary floras. None of its subordinate political 

 divisions are especially rich in Upper Cretaceous plants except the old 

 kingdom of Bohemia, the northern part of which is underlain by the 

 widely distributed formations of the Upper Cretaceous, which extend 

 northward and westward into Saxony, and northward and eastward into 

 Silesia and Moravia. It will therefore be most useful to consider first 

 the important Bohemian section, after which the less important floras of 

 Moravia, Dalmatia, the Tyrol, Austria, and Hungary may be briefly 

 considered in the order indicated. 



Bohemia 



The Bohemian section is of the greatest importance for the paleo- 

 botanist because of the large flora that has been thoroughly described 

 from its various horizons and the certainty with which these floras have 

 been correlated with the contemporaneous faunas. It is of especial inter- 

 est to the American student because of the parallelism between the Cre- 

 taceous history of the Bohemian basin and that of the Atlantic Coastal 

 Plain, and this parallelism extends even to the character of the deposits 

 as well as to the similarities of the contemporaneous floras and faunas. 

 Among the students of Bohemian Cretaceous Geology, the names of 

 Beuss, Geinitz, Schlcenbach, Krejci, Fric (Fritsch), Jahn, Zahalka. 

 Petrascheck, Woldrich and Scupin may be mentioned. The results down 

 to 1903 are admirably summarized in the last edition of Katzer's 

 " Geologie von Bohmen," Prague, 1903.
