Abstract
A DISCUSSION on “The Survival and Extinction of Flora and Fauna in Glacial and Post-glacial Times : the Problem Viewed in Relation to Quaternary Historical Investigations” was held by the British Ecological Society at a meeting in the rooms of the Royal Society on October 15, 1946. The president of the Society, Dr. A. S. Watt, pointed out that it was eleven and a half years since the same rooms had witnessed the Royal Society discussion on the “Origin and Relationships of the British Flora”. Although there were a number of contributions from pollen analysts in the original discussion, the emphasis had now shifted towards the lines of evidence that they could supply. This meeting was one of a number then being held in connexion with a conference for Quaternary history in north-western Europe.
