CoUimys dobosi n. sp 17 swamp and forest elements and no indication of grassland vegetation (ERDEI 1999). Moreover, the dominance of ferns is probable after the subtropical forest environment with different levels of foliage, in which the ferns were able to tolerate the semi darkness of the undergrowth. The presumption of a forest environment is supported by the coexistence of four different flying-squirrel species in the rodent fauna. HEISSIG (1995) presumed a dry habitat of Collimys, but this idea was rejected by KÄLIN (1999). Based on the data from Felsőtárkány we agree with the opinion of the latter author.
