II.—Notes on some Microzoa and Mollusca from East Crete

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The fossil or sub-fossil remains to which I propose to devote this short paper were procured from a cave-deposit in East Crete by Miss Dorothea M. A. Bate, whose valuable work among the Pleistocene Mammalia in Crete is so well known.
