The geologie term "'Tethys" introduced by Eduard Suess (1893) into
Reience waR originally a paleogeographic one. Since its original
des- eription it has been used in various ways. One of them is
Tethys as a paleo-biogeographie eoneept. This eoneept was adopted
for IGCP Project 262, Tethyan Cretaeeous Correlation. It was
proposed by G. CSASZAR and Heim; A. KOLLMANN and has been approved
by the IGCP Board in February 1987. The projeet haR its aimH
primarily in the improvement of the stra- tigraphie cOl'relation
between the heterogenous faeies of the Tethyan realm. The requests
to paleontology in this programme are of variouR kindH: The
delimitation of the Tethyan realm in spaee and time needH a dear
statements on the eomposition of Tethyan faunal 01' floral assem-
blages. Riozones based on various fossil groups have to be
eRtablished fOI' biostratigraphie eorrelation. Finally, Tethyan
bioprovinees have to be established. TheHe problems have been
diseussed in a special meeting of the palaeontologieal group of the
projeet whieh was held on January 25-27, 1988, in Vienna. Papers
presented at this meeting are published in this volume. Heinz A.
