Diplodus gibbosus, for example, being but 4*5 millimetres long by 

 2 mm. at the base, and that of Pleuvoplax Uankinei measuring only 

 2 mm. by 1 mm. The presence of fish-remains in a mariue band 

 is not a striking character as a rule, a fact noted by Dr. Wheelton 

 Hind. 1 A comparison of the list here given with his tabulation of 

 fossils from the marine bands (op. cit.) shows that there is a close 

 correspondence between those of South Wales and Ashton Yale ; 

 and an even closer correspondence between the latter and the mariue 

 horizon associated with the Gin Coal of North Staffordshire.
