swamp environment. As we came across it in the Kesztölc flora in very low number of specimens, we can suppose that it drifted in from some more remote marshy areas where it could form extensive assemblages, but it could have occurred as single specimen in a marshy setting formed along the stream or river. Based on the above considerations, there are two, or possibly three units which can be separable in the vegetation: 1. Extensive forest of sub-tropical laurel-trees, with Daphnogene div. sp. - Castanopsis toscana - Platanus neptuni as predominant species. 2. Vegetation of river catchment area, with Ulmus pyramidalis as predominant species. (3.) Swamp vegetation, perhaps relatively far from the site, with Taxodium dubium as predominant species. C LIMA TO LOGICAL RECONSTRUCTION There are two ways for reconstructing the climate, based either oni the species composition and vegetation types presented above, or, on the basis of the dimensions of the leaves. Both of these possibilities were considered, because our former experience and data in the •paci man 755025 Fig. 3.
