﻿IT 
  PREFACE. 
  

  

  Leeds 
  Collection, 
  most 
  interesting 
  points 
  have 
  also 
  been 
  worked 
  out 
  

   in 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  osteology 
  of 
  Lepidotus 
  and 
  Caturus. 
  

  

  The 
  plates 
  and 
  illustrations 
  throughout 
  this 
  work 
  have 
  been 
  

   entirely 
  prepared 
  by 
  Miss 
  G. 
  M. 
  Woodward, 
  and 
  attention 
  is 
  

   specially 
  called 
  to 
  the 
  admirable 
  restorations 
  of 
  Lepidotus, 
  Dapedius, 
  

   Cleithrolepis, 
  Eugnathus, 
  Caturus, 
  Aspidorhynchus, 
  and 
  Leptolepis 
  

   in 
  the 
  present 
  volume, 
  executed 
  by 
  that 
  Artist 
  under 
  the 
  Author's 
  

   direction. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  hoped 
  that 
  the 
  next 
  volume 
  will 
  complete 
  the 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  

   the 
  Fossil 
  Fishes 
  in 
  the 
  Museum. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  devoted 
  entirely 
  to 
  

   that 
  great 
  series 
  of 
  later 
  forms, 
  commonly 
  termed 
  the 
  " 
  Teleostean 
  

   Pishes."
