Abstract
IT may safely be asserted that the study of pollen grains, as such, in Great Britain is confined practically to those who are interested in postglacial vegetational changes as revealed by the pollen-content of the peat mosses, and kindred problems. This line of research was perfected in Sweden by L. von Post some twenty years ago, and now attracts many workers in other lands. A pioneer survey of British mosses was completed a few years ago by Erdtman, a pupil of von Post. Since then, more detailed work of much value has been carried out—particularly by Raistrick and Blackburn in the north of England, and in the fenland by the Godwins.
