Plate IX. 5 Figs. 13, 14. Scarce; longest specimen found, 2*2 mm.; 

 none is perfect.] 



Polygnathus (Gnathodus) 2Iosquensis, Pander, sp. I.e., p. 34, 1. 10. 

 — This tooth consists of a delicate compressed double- walled plate 

 carrying a row of minute triangular flattened denticles on its upper 

 edge; at one extremity the walls of the plate diverge so as to 

 form unsymmetrical flanges on either side. Viewed from above the 

 flange on one side of the central plate is slightly convex and 

 ornamented with minute interrupted ridges and furrows. The 

 flange on the opposite side is compressed and elevated so as to 

 form a crenulated edge which runs nearly parallel with the upper 

 margin of the central plate. Viewed from below the flanges are 

 concave, and form a spoon-shaped depression with a deeply im- 

 pressed line extending from the apex towards the free end of the 

 plate. It closely corresponds with Pander's specimens from the 

 mountain limestone of Moscow. 



[In Scotland it occurs at Glencart, Linn Spout, Mdnkcastle, 

 Stacklawhill, Robroyston, Birkhead, Cunningham Baidland, Law, 

 and Glenbuck. Plate IX., Figs. 2, 3, 4. Comparatively frequent ; 

 1'2 to 2*0 mm. in length.] 



Polygnathus navicula, Hinde, new species. Plate IX., Fig. 5. 

 — The basal portion of the tooth is triangular in outline when 

 viewed laterally, its upper surface is a flattened plate, transversely 

 striated, and with a median furrow. At one end there rises at 

 right angles to the plate a thin crest with four or five saw-like 

 denticles. This tooth is of the same character as the peculiar den- 

 ticulated plates from the Devonian of Canada which are figured 

 in the Quar. Jour. Geol. Soc. for 1879, pi. 17, f. 8-11, but differs 

 in the form and disposition of the central crest. [From Ponniel 

 Water, near Douglas. Only one specimen found ; 1 '7 mm. in 

 length.] 



Polygnathus {Centrodus) convexus, Pander, Mon., p. 31, t. 2a, 

 f. 4. — Base of the tooth narrow and strongly curved, with a 

 series of from 4 to 7 large, compressed, pointed denticles radiat- 

 ing from its upper margin. Sometimes minute denticles are 

 intercalated between the larger. Pander's specimens are from 

 the Lower Carboniferous of Tula. [In Scotland it occurs at 

 Glencart, Monkcastle, Law, and Auchenskeith. Plate IX., Figs. 

 6, 7, 8. Specimens measure from -8 to 2 mm. in length.]
