Abstract
THIS third volume of Dr. Heer's “Fossil Flora of the Arctic Regions” contains four very distinct chapters. The first of these relates to the Plants of the Coal-measures of the Arctic Zone; the second to the Plants of the Chalk Formation of the same Zone; the third gives an account of the Miocene Flora of Greenland; and the fourth is a review of the Miocene Flora of the Arctic Zone. For the material for the first three chapters of this volume the author has the Swedish naturalists alone to thank, and in addition, the Swedish Academy of Sciences has been at the expense of the several parts composing it, which will also be found in Vols. 12 and 13 of their “Abhandlungen.” The fourth chapter is added at the expense of Dr. Heer, and not only notices the Miocene plants referred to in the three first volumes, but also those collected during the summer of 1873 in Spitzbergen by Prof. Nordenskjöld.
