An Introduction to pollen Analysis

This is a digital reprint of a book first published at a time when this area of science was relatively new and when important
problems in the history of vegetation and climate, as well as in archaeology were requiring solutions. This book stresses the importance of pollen morphology and of a body of theoretical principles based upon experimental work. It covers the chemistry of peat, pollen preparations, preparation of fossil bearing material, pollen and spore morphology-monocotyledons, dicotyledons, gymnosperms, pteridophytes. It also covers output and dissemination of pollen and pollen flora of peat samples. There is a chapter on geographical survey of pollen in different countries.
