PTERICHTH YOMORPHI 



209 



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 CepJialaspis, also covered with 

 dermal armour.
