CATALOG OF FOSSIL FISHES IN THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM Sou 
the Carnegie Museum are mostly small forms, the greater number of which are 
referable to the species which was named by Agassiz Clupea catopterygia, but the 
description of which was first published in 1901 by Dr A. S. Woodward. Over a 
score of Clupeoid species from the same horizon and locality have been described 
since the time of Agassiz by various authors, many of them in publications not readily 
accessible; and as the present writer has not yet had an opportunity to consult 
the original descriptions, nor to study the actual types, except in a few cases, a pre- 
cise determination of all the specimens in the Bayet Collection has not been at- 
tempted. It will suffice for the present to note that the genus Clupea is repre- 
sented in the Carnegie Museum by specimens having the following catalog numbers: 
Clupea: Cat. No. 4511 (in counterpart); 4202; 4203; 4204; 4205; 4206; 4219; 
4223; 4011; 4012; 4315; 4505; 4506; 4507; 4508; 4509 (in counterpart); 4510. 
Suborder APODES. 
Family Muranipz. 
The extinct species of this family, which appear sparsely in the Upper Cre- 
taceous, and become more abundant in the Kocene, are still imperfectly known. 
Several anguilliform types inédits, designated as such by Professor Louis Agassiz, 
have recently been described by the present writer from Bolea material preserved 
in the Paris Museum of Natural History. Some of the undermentioned specimens 
are remarkable for their fine state of preservation. The name Leptocephalus is 
retained as a convenient designation for the young of various eel-like species. 
Genus Eomyrus Storms. 
5. Eomyrus ventralis (Agass’z). 
1835. Anguilla ventralis, L. Agassiz, Neues Jahrb., p. 307 (name only). 
1839-44. Anguilla ventralis, L. Agassiz, Poiss: Foss., Vol. V, pt. 1, p. Oeste 
p. 134, pl. XLIII, figs. 2, 3. 
1898. Anguilla ventralis (?= Eomyrus), R. Storms, Bull. Soc. Be'ge Géol., Vol. X, 
Mém., p. 240. 
1901. Homyrus ventralis, A. 8S. Woodward, Cat. Foss. Fishes Brit. Mus., pt. IV, 
p. 341. 
Type.—Nearly complete fish; location unknown; olim Hartmann Collection. 
This is a rare form, not represented in the collections of the British Museum, 
and by but a single specimen in the Bayet Collection of the Carnegie Institute, 
which is cataloged as No. 4017. A specimen of Clupea is preserved on the same 
slab.
