Excerpt from Beiträge zur Fossilen Flora Spitzbergens: Gegründet auf die Sammlungen der Schwedischen Expedition vom Jahre 1872 auf 1873 Fig. 1 ist das am besten erhaltene Stuck; kleinere, wie Fig. 3 u. 4 sind zahlreich. Bei Fig. 6 haben wir neben der Fieder eine Spindel, an der sie befestigt war. Sehr wahrscheinlich waren zahlreiche Fiedern, wie Fig. 1 eine solche darstellt, an einer sol chen gemeinsamen geraden Spindel befestigt. Aber auch diese war wahrscheinlich nur eine Fieder eines viel grösseren Blattes, indem die Taf. I, Fig. 28 und II, 11 u. Ilb abgebildeten Spindeln, wie ich vermuthe, zu dieser Art gehören, da bei solchen Spin deln, die sehr häufig sind, auch die kleinen Fiederreste gefunden wurden, so bei Fig. 28. Es hat diese Spindel eine Breite von 14 M., und ist in zwei grosse Gabelä.ste gespal ten. Sie sind von sehr dicht stehenden, parallelen, gleichstarken Langstreifen durch zogen. Ob diese Spindel nur einmal oder mehrfach gabelig getheilt ist und dann an diesen Gabelästen die wieder mehrfach zertheilten Blattfiedern trägt, ist nicht 'ermittelt, da in dem zerbröckelten Gestein des Robertthales die Spindeln durchgehends in kleine Stücke zerbrochen sind. Fig. 28 ist die grösste die mir zukam. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

geologist naturalist professor
Heer was born on August 31, 1809 at Niederuzwil in Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Heer was educated as a clergyman at Halle and took holy orders, and he also graduated as Doctor of Philosophy and medicine.
Early in life his interest was aroused in entomology, on which subject Heer acquired special knowledge, and later he took up the study of plants and became one of the pioneers in palaeo-botany, distinguished for his researches on the Miocene flora. In 1851 Heer became professor of botany in the university of Zürich, and for some time he was the director of what is now the Old Botanical Garden in that city. He directed his attention to the Tertiary plants and insects of Switzerland. In 1863 (with William Pengelly, Phil. Trans. , 1862) he investigated the plant-remains from the lignite-deposits of Bovey Tracey in Devon, regarding them as of Miocene age; but they are now classed as Eocene. Heer also reported on the Miocene flora of Arctic regions (fossil plant remains brought back from Northwest Greenland by K. J. V. Steenstrup), on the plants of the Pleistocene lignites of Dürnten, and on the cereals of some of the lake-dwellings (Die Pflanzen der Pfahlbauten, 1866). Charles Darwin regarded Heer as an authority on fossil plants, and corresponded with him. The two men disagreed over evolution, but were on cordial terms. In a letter in 1875, Heer described to Darwin in some detail a new dicotyledonous angiosperm fossil that he had identified in the lower Cretaceous in the arctic, which appeared to allow slightly more time for the evolution of dicots than Darwin had previously been aware of. During a great part of his career Heer was hampered by slender means and ill-health, but his services to science were acknowledged in 1874 when the Geological Society of London awarded to him the Wollaston medal. He died at Lausanne on 27 September 1883. Heer published Flora Tertiaria Helvetiae (3 vols. , 1855-1859); Die Urwelt der Schweiz (1865), and Flora fossilis Arctica (1868-1883) and with Eduard Heinrich Graeffe.
