PTERICHTH YOMORPHI 



zog 



Cephalaspidomorphi. Especially important is the position and 

 structure of the orbits — so peculiar amongst Pisces, and so essentially 

 similar in both cases. The pectoral appendages may, moreover, 

 be compared with the paired flaps of Ccjrfialasjris, also covered with 

 dermal armour.
