Praenorica Folia historico-naturalia, V (2002) Then come the specific place of collection, perhaps the method of collection, and then the abbreviated name of the collector. The line of data concludes with the number of specimens collected. The method of collection is specified in relatively few cases. All the data shown on the labels has been recorded. On many occasions, the collectors gave the name of the place of collection in its Hungarian form. In that case, the present-day name of the locality in official use in the country concerned has been added in square brackets. The line of data is completed with information on the geographical distribution of the species and known places of occurrence in the Carpathian Basin, and in some cases, by further observations and remarks. Abbreviations of the collector's names are as follows: ÁL László ÁDÁM PL LajOS PODLUSSÁNY BGY György BÜRGÉS Rí Imre RETEZÁR DK Katalin DESEŐ Rol István ROZNER GK Kálmán GASKÓ SGY Gyula SOMORJAI JT Tibor JERMY SzÁ Árpád SZABÓ KI Irén Kocs SzG Gusztáv SZELÉNYI KOI I.

The term 'Carpathian Basin' - geographically means the mountains of the Carpathians and the territory enclosed by the arch of the Carpathians and the high mountains of the Alps, bordered at the southwest by the Dinaric Mountains. This border is more or less arbitrary. The contour line roughly follows the altitude 600 meters on the outer slopes of the Carpathians and on the eastern slopes of the Alps. In the case of the Dinaric Mountains it follows the altitude 200 meters. Recently this territory belongs to 11 countries. The entire territory of Hungary and Slovakia belongs to this entity (MÓCZÁR 1972; VlDLlCKA and SziRÁKi 1997) (Fig. 1). 9
