Abstract

M. HANTKEN assembled a Nummulites collection of more than 1000 specimens in the second half of the 19th century. The items of this collection as special preparates are now kept in several European museums. Most of them are housed in the Earth and Palaeontological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, and in the Natural History Museum of Eötvös University. The material of this collection of exceptional scientific value came from the most important localities of the Paleogene Tethys. A detailed taxonomical revision of the collection will be treated in a monograph to be published soon. This monograph gives the description of 43 taxa and illustrations on 20 photoplates. Here the most important taxonomical, phylogenetical, stratigraphical, palaeobiogeographical and science historical results are presented, supplemented with an excerpt from the revisional monograph giving the description and photoplate of one species: Nummulites laevigatus (Bruguière).
