Engaged in a study of the fossiliferous layers on German territory near the Dutch village Reuver in the province of Limburg, I felt my admiration grow more and more for the eminent work of Cl. and E. M. Reid “The pliocene floras of the Dutch-Prussian border” (Mededeelingen van de Rijksopsporing van Delfstoffen N°. 6; the Hague 1915). The thoroughness with which the authors dealt with their subject is really admirable. I was therefore surprised and delighted to find in those layers a fossil, not described in their work.
