or Great Britain. By Jamzes W. Davis, F.G.S. (Scientific 
Transactions of the Royal Dublin Society, vol. i. series 11. pp. 
327-600. Plates xlii-lxv. 4to. Dublin, 1883.) 
We the history of fossil fishes in this country four names 
will naturally be associated, viz. Agassiz, Hgerton, Ennis- 
killen, and Mantell. For world-wide as in later years became the 
reputation of Louis Agassiz, his earliest researches in fossil fishes 
were mainly carried out in conjunction with Sir Philip Grey- 
Egerton, the Earl of Enniskillen, and Dr. Mantell; and it is their 
collections which contain the largest proportion of the “types” of 
his great works. It is no small satisfaction to geologists and palzon- 
tologists to know that all three of these magnificent collections 
(Mantell, Egerton, and Enniskillen) now form part of the National 
treasures, and their choicest specimens may be seen assembled in 
one gallery at the new Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road. 
Of these vast and varied treasures it is not our intention to speak
