26 WOODWARD : FOSSIL FISHES OF THE UPPER LIAS OF WHITBY. 
and exhaustive studies of the Upper Liassic fishes from Boll, Ohmdeii, 
Holzmaden, and other localities in Wiirtemberg and Bavaria ; while 
Sauvage has undertaken similar researches in France, issuing several 
memoirs with technical descriptions and beautiful illustrations/'' It 
is the object of the present memoir to extend our knowledge of the 
Whitby fossil fish-fauna if possible to a like degree, and to make 
detailed comparisons with the results of the Continental authors. 
For the purposes of this memoir the unique collection in the 
British Museum is almost sufficient, comprising, as it now does, the 
great collections of the late Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton and 
the late Earl of Enniskillen. The fine series of specimens, however, 
in the museums of York, Whitby, Scarborough and Malton, have also 
been carefully examined and utilized, thanks to the respective 
curators of those museums ; and the writer is especially indebted to 
the kindness of Messrs. J. F. Walker, H. M. Platuauer, Newbitt, 
Rowntree, and S. Chadwick for the facilities he has enjoyed.
