 the Irish Coal- Measures. By A. Smith WoODWAUD, 

 LL.D., F.R.S. 



[Plate X.] 



IlAVlNa recently had occasion to study an undetermined 

 species of the Pahvoniscid fish Myrioleju's, from the Hawkes- 

 bury Formation of New South AVales, I have been led to a

 described by Dr. Traquair in 1893 * from the Coal-Measures 

 of Ireland. The latter species is now known by a nearly 

 complete fish in anthracite from the Jarrow Colliery, 

 Kilkenny, presented to the British Museum by John Gerrard, 

 Esq. ; and this >peeimen i)rovos to be so much more vahiable 

 for comparison with the typical Australian fossils than any
