| Abstract |
1. The stratigraphical age of the fossil Mya arenaria shells in Holland is satisfactorily ascertained. 2. There is no doubt as to the specific position of the fossils. 3. Mya arenaria occurred in our country without interruption in all marine horizons from the Upper Pliocene until the present day with the exception of the Eem-layers. 4. The interruption during the Eem period has nothing to do with the transgression of the Strait of Dover, for the simple reason that it occurred some thousands of years earlier. A definite explanation of this interruption has not yet been given. |
