The type of this species has hitherto remained unique. A second interesting 
example is that belonging to the Bayet Collection of the Carnegie Museum, which is 
cataloged as No. 4218, 4218a. 
Genus DENTEX. 
Four species from the Upper Eocene of Monte Bolea have been referred by 
Agassiz to this interesting genus, the position of which is considered to be inter- 
mediate between the Percide and Sparide. None of these is represented in the 
collections of the British Museum, but examples of the undermentioned form are 
to be found in the Carnegie Institute. 
38. Dentex leptacanthus Agassiz. 
1839. Dentex leptacanthus Agassiz, Poiss. Foss., Vol. IV, p. 144, pl. XXYVI.

Family Sparipa. (Porgies, Sea-Breams.) 
This family embraces some two hundred living species, distributed over the

carnivorous. The group is abundantly represented in Eocene and Miocene de- 
posits by remains of Sargus, Sparus, Pagrus, Pagellus, etc., and by the extinct gen- 
era Ctenodentex, Sparnodus, and Trigonodon.
