372 CRETACEOUS FISHES. 
Beryx macrocephalus, R. 2. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 3. Vol. iv. p. 119, Agassiz.) 
The head in this species (as its name implies) is small, and its form is more 
slender than B. radians. I have found this fish at Washington, but it is much 
rarer than the two preceding. The figured specimen is in the collection of 
Frederick Harford, Esq., obligingly procured for me by Dr. Mantell; it is from 
the chalk marl near Clayton, Sussex. 
Beryx superbus, new, R. 2. (Tab. XXXVI. fig. 5.) 
This very fine fish was pronounced to be new by M. Agassiz ; it measures 18 
inches long; the scales are particularly large and thick, slightly pectinated, and 
sculptured. The Rev. H. Hoper has a fine specimen of this fish: it is also in 
the collections of Lord Enniskillen, Sir Philip Egerton and Mr. Catt. I have 
described this fish from my own specimen, found at Southeram. 
Genus Berycopsis!, new, Agassiz. 
This generic title was proposed by M. Agassiz for a fish in Mr. Catt’s collec- 
tion ; having much resemblance to the genus Beryz, but differing from it in the 
absence of pectinations on the free margin of the scales. 
Berycopsis elegans, R. 2. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 8.) 
This fish in size and in its general character resembles B. radians, but the 
scales are smaller and more numerous, the body of the fish is also much deeper 
in proportion to its length: besides the beautiful specimen alluded to above, Sir 
P. Egerton and Lord Enniskillen have specimens in their cabinets. 
Genus Homonotus*, new, Agassiz. 
Homonotus dorsalis, R. 2. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 2.) 
This new fish, named by M. Agassiz, was found at Malling by Mr. Catt. In 
many of its characters it resembles the genus Beryz, but the vertebrze are more 
slender, the head smaller, and it has a longer and stronger dorsal fin, on which 
account I have proposed the specific name dorsalis ; the scales are very delicate 
and rarely seen perfect. I have found it at Houghton and Brighton, and in 
Sir H. D. Goring’s pit at Washington. It is in the collection of the Earl of En- 
niskillen and in that of Sir Philip Egerton, Bart.
