The species of Coelacanthus here described is from the Cannel Coal in the 

 Middle Coal Measures at Tingley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and with 

 it have been found a number of other fish-remains. The most important 

 characters exhibited by this species consist in the method of attachment of the 

 rays of the dorsal and caudal fins to the spinous processes of the vertebrae, in 

 the larger number of the fin rays, and in their extremities being articulated ; 

 the ornamentation of the scales and exposed bones of the head consists partly of 

 ridges and also of minute tubercles ; and they also differ in the form of the scales.
