Measurement as a Means of Identifying Fossil Pollen

In most places where pollen analysis is pursued more and more species have in recent years been included in pollen counting, and simultaneously the requirements as to the reliability and precision of identification - and the methods of identification - have of course become increasingly stringent. As is only natural with pollen analysis as a young science, there are unfortunately no tables or keys even approximately comprising or distinguishing between all the species encountered in ordinary pollen counting, and probably many years will elapse before tables of this kind are available, if ever they will be. </jats:p

Pollenanalytisk Datering af et Moselig fra Bredmose, Store Arden, Himmerland

Den 24. Juni 1942 fandtes under Tørvegravning i Bredmose, Syd for Store Arden Station i Himmerland, et Kvindelig i Tørven. Liget var indsvøbt i Tøj og var forbavsende velbevaret, saaledes som det oftere har været Tilfældet med slige Fund fra Sphagnummoser. Det blev af Politiet optaget fra sit Leje i Tørven.Inspektør P. Riismøller fra Aalborg historiske Museum blev tilkaldt og fik Lejlighed til at undersøge det udpegede Findested. Her skal gengives den Del af Inspektør Riismøllers Beretning, der omhandler Fundforholdene samt de Foranstaltninger, der af ham blev foretaget paa Stedet.</jats:p

Studies in V egetational History in honour of Knud Jessen

Knud Jessen's name is inherently associated with the history of the flora of northern Europe; for more than a lifetime he has been at the forefront in this field of research. Where he began, in Denmark and in Ireland, others followed, inspired by his achievement, sustained by his vital initiative, and his kind assistance. In his footsteps research flourished, characterized by fruitful allround co-operation. This felicitous esprit de corps can be traced to Knud Jessens charming and downwright personality.Strict objectivity distinguishes Knud Jessen's entire scientific work, yet his daily work of research is borne by a spontaneous and infectious joy. Accordingly, we hope that the specific tribute expressed in this book, written by colleages, pupils, friends, will please him.Knud Jessen's sphere of activity is not limited to Denmark. He has investigated German bogs, worked with English and Norwegian finds, and from his hand derives the fundamental work on the vegetational history of Ireland. It was, therefore, natural to afford some of his friends from the countries mentioned an opportunity to partake in the tribute.The book has been published by the Geological Survey of Denmark as a greeting from his old institute to which he has given many fruitful years of work as the leader of the bog laboratory.</jats:p
