the Eocene of Le Bois-Gouét, of south-west France. The example from 
Pukeuri differs in having the notch on posterior rim, but otherwise the

Observations.—On comparing this specimen with the otoliths of the - 
living Citharus € the resemblance is at once apparent. Bassoli (1) _ 
describes a fossil Citharus otolith from the Pliocene of Monte Gibio—  .
