Dr. R. H. Traqunir —Flfcshire Carhoniferous Fishes. Ill 



death in 1881, his important collection of fish-remains from tliis 

 and other localities in East Fife was acquired by the Edinbur<'h 

 Museum, and largely forms the basis of the present list. 1 myself 

 have also done some collecting in this region ; and a good many 

 years ago the Museum acquired a number of specimens collected by 

 Mr. W. T. Kinnear at Ardross, some of which are of great interest. 



The district in question is comprised in sheets 41 and 49 of the 

 Geological Survey Map of Scotland. All the species here noted 

 are from Lower Carboniferous rocks, the horizons represented being 

 the Upper part (Oil-shale group) of the Calciferous Sandstone Series 

 and the Lower part of the Carboniferous Limestone Series. Here 

 I may note that in 1890 ^ I included the Teleostomi and Dipnoi 

 of the region in a list of the fishes of these orders occurring in Fife 

 and the Lothians, published by the Royal Society of Edinburgh. 

 The present list, however, includes the Elasmobranchs as well, 

 and also a few additional species now described as new.
