THE LYME LIAS FISHES. 6V 



The Lias Fishes from Lyme Regis. 



I have stated (p. 48) that I have no authentic observations nor reliable notes on the 

 stratigraphical distribution of the Fossil Fishes obtained at Lyme Regis from the Lias 

 beds of the coast by the workmen, who have carefully kept their secret for their own 

 advantage. Still, as most of these Ichthyolites were collected from the Lower Lias, 

 and chiefly, I understand, from the Bucklandi- and Turneri-beds, I am unwilling to allow 

 such an important gap to remain a blank in my otherwise complete lists of the Fauna 

 of this classical region ; and so I applied to my friend Sir Philip de Malpas Grey-Egerton, 

 Bart., F.R.S., the highest living authority on Fossil Ichthyology, to prepare a list of the 

 Fossil Fishes of the Lyme Lias beds. With his uniform courtesy and kindness Sir 

 Phihp has complied with my request, and I have now the pleasure of adding to 

 my work his important addition, for which I return my very best thanks.
