Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 39)

"These fragmentary and imperfectly preserved specimens are referred provisionally to Heer's species from the Kome beds of Greenland and Svalbard. The fragments figured by Heer include a wide variety of remains, some of which resemble our specimens closely - for example, his Figures 6 and 7 on Plate 1, and Figures 1 and 5 on Plate 35 of volume 3 - and
these appear to warrant at least a provisional reference of our specimens to the species."
