INTRODUCTION. 



In the present paper is given an annotated list of the species 

 of fossil fishes recorded from the rocks of California, with de- 

 scriptions of a number of new species. In addition to this, cer- 

 tain notes on species found elsewhere are appended. 



The sole paper treating of the fossil fishes of California is by 

 Professor Louis Agassiz. It is entitled, "Notice of Fossil Fishes 

 Found in California by W. P. Blake." It is in the American 

 Journal of Science and Arts for 1856, pp. 272-275. In it ten 

 species of fossil sharks are recorded from Tertiary (Miocene) 

 deposits, mostly on Ocoya or Pose Creek, in Kern County. This 

 article with a few verbal changes and a page of engravings is re- 

 printed in the appendix to Lieutenant Williamson's Report on 

 Explorations in California, U. S. Pacific E. R. Survey for 1853, 

 pp. 313 to 316, pi. I. 



In the present paper the Californian material examined is as 

 follows :

 of California, received through Professor John C. Merriam.
