​Important part of the collections

Thirty-six plates of Tertiary plants from Spitsbergen, produced by A. G. Nathorst in the late 1890's for an intended monograph, represent a significant part of the collections from the Arctic Tertiary in the department of palaeobotany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm.
