Two specimens, one showing scales and longitudinally grooved 
fin spines and the other a large portion of the body, of a small, 
smooth-scaled Diplacanthus, very like the D. striatus of Agassiz 
and possibly identical with that species.

he e EHusthenopte s proposed for a supposed new 
genus holy resembles the “Trisidhoptern of Sir Philip Egerton 
in the shape and ornamentation of its scales and cranial plates, in 
the circumstance that the fin rays of ita anal and second dorsal 
fins are both supported by three osselets ‘articulated to a broad 
* ep apophysis, and in some other important particulars 
But the vertebral he of 7 ‘iatichoniterie' are said to be ossified, 
and is ‘aubolete which support the rays of the lower lobe of t 
tail are described as “springing from eight or nine inbatapiniven 
bones,” whereas in Husthenopteron the vertebral centers are not 
ossified oe a caudal osselets are priniir at to the moditied 
hemal spines. In Husthenoptheron, too, the osselets and inter- 
spinous Sones of the anal and pleat dorsal are larger than those 
ot Tristichopterus, and different also in their shape and relative 
proportions, 
The species, which is acne after its discoverer, so A. H. 
Foord, may be recognized by its large size (it appears to have 
attained toa length of two aes or more) and by its icin elon- 
gated and acutely pointed first dorsal
