In addition, the faculty has taken over the former institute of the closed Czech University in Prague. Extraordinary Chair of Phyto-Palaeontology and the History of Vegetation. The Bohemian Moravian region in the old range is particularly distinguished by its wealth of deposits of fossil plants. In Bohemia the Devon is developed in a good way and the first Devonian plants were described from the Bohemian region. The study of Devonian plants has gained an extraordinary significance in recent years, with German research (Kräsel) becoming a leader in this field. Furthermore, plant deposits of other periods are prominently represented in this area, as are stone and lignite deposits. The Amhiesigen Botanische Institut conducted studies of the peat bogs of Bohemia and their significance for the vegetation history of Central Europe. The wealth of fossil plants makes it necessary that this side of the botenic, whose importance increases from year to year, is constantly represented at the local university. Extraordinary Chair of Vegetation and Pharmaceutical Botany. The extent of the normal teaching need has become so great at the botanic institute of the local university that the only existing ordinarius is not able to read the whole area of medicinal plants alone. In the past, it had existed in Extra 995 since l9oo, which had to take care of some of the lessons and exams. No doubt about the importance of the Unte- richt in domestic vegetation studies, especially towards the sociological side, and there are also regular lectures and exercises held, as well as for those parts of the pharmaceutical industry associated with the Botanical Institute.Stabilization of these conditions by establishing an extraordinariate seems all the more important because the significance of these sub-areas has grown by the new examination regulations. The extraordinary professor Pohl as the representative of this subject area has proved his worth in these lectures and his scientific work also deserves a position as an extraordinaire within the university.
