(v.) Tynet Burn, Banffshire. 



35777. Much crushed small fish, about 0*175 in length, with well- 

 preserved caudal lobe and fin. Purchased, 1860. 



35984. Small contorted fish, with displaced head and opercular 

 bones. The left maxilla exhibits the coarse, horizontal 

 striation of its expanded portion. Purchased, 1861 . 



36060-61. Another small fish, in counterpart, wanting the caudal 

 fin. Purchased, 1861, 



39181. Slightly larger specimen, wanting the caudal fin. The inner 

 aspect of the left clavicle and the characters of the pectoral 

 fins are well shown ; and immediately behind the upper 

 part of the clavicle there are indications of irregularly 

 enlarged scales. Boiverbank Coll. 



37384. Much crushed fish, about 0*3 in length, showing part of the 

 cranial roof with the pair of longitudinal sensory canals. 

 The operculum and suboperculum of one side are displaced 

 behind the pectoral arch, the operculum being very narrow 

 and deep and marked by oblique, backwardly and down- 

 wardly directed striations. Purchased, 1863. 



41310. Fine specimen, distorted on the ventral aspect of the head 

 and abdominal region. The cranial roof exhibits the pair 

 of longitudinal sensory canals, as noted by Traquair, loc. 

 cit. (1875), p. 236 ; and there are remains of the large 

 cheek-plate above the maxilla. The operculum is very 

 deep and narrow, and apparently ornamented with 

 striations or fine rugae obliquely directed backwards and 

 downwards ; and the suboperculum seems to be broader 

 than deep. Immediately behind the pectoral arch there 

 are four enlarged series of scales, gradually decreasing to 

 the normal size ; and the change of the squamation upon 

 the upper caudal lobe is obvious. The elongation of the 

 anal fin described in No. 21547 is again conspicuous • and 

 the caudal fin is complete, showing the slight excavation 

 of the posterior border and the inequality of the lobes. 



Purchased, 1869. 



P. 342, P. 1370 b. Two specimens, about 0-25 and 0-28 in length, 

 the second very imperfectly preserved. Egerton Coll. 



P. 4345. Somewhat distorted small fish, displaying the pectoral, 

 anal, and caudal fins, and the double fulcra of the upper 

 caudal lobe. Ennislcillen Coll.
