Sparnodus ovalis Agassiz. (Sparidæ.) 
Monte Bolca. (Eocene.) A. S. Woodward makes this a synonym 
of S. macrophthalmus. 
Typical acanthopterygian scale; 9 or 10 very strong basal eh, 
sides with fine normal circuli; apical margin not visible, but there is a 
well defined ctenoid patch il parallel jointed Akon as in Box vul- 
garis. We thus have proof that this specialised type of structure is at 
least as old as the Upper Eocene.
