A LIST OF THE FOSSIL FISHES OF THE CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS 
OF YORKSHIRE, WITH THEIR DISTRIBUTION. 
BY EDGAR D. WELLBURX, L.R.C.P.E., F.G.S., ETC. 
The Carboniferous rocks, as found in Yorkshire, comprise 
the Coal Measures, Millstone Grits, Pendleside Series and Car- 
boniferous Limestone. In the latter group of rocks I include 
the Yoredale Rocks (Phillips) of North- West Yorkshire. 
In the Coal Measures no fish remains have been found in 
the Upper Measures, as far as I know, but the yield from the 
Middle and Lower Measures has in the past been plentiful ; at 
the present time, however, specimens are very difficult to 
obtain, as at most of the pits very little shale (in which the 
fish remains are mostly found) is brought up to the surface. 
In the Millstone Grits and Pendleside Series fish remains 
are — with very few exceptions — rare. 
Again, in the Carboniferous Limestone, the yield of these 
remains is now very poor, although in the past large collections 
have been made, notably by Mr. Horne, F.G.S., of Leyburn. 
His specimens were mostly collected from the Main Cherts or 
Red Beds at Ha^rmby Quarry, near Leyburn Railway Station. 
A few others have been found in the Crow Limestone above, 
and the Underset Limestone below. Others have been found 
at Richmond, Settle, and Pateley Bridge ; though in these 
localities they are rare. 
Note. — Since writing this paper, the writer finds that fish 
remains have been found by Mr. H. Culpin, of Doncaster, in the 
Upper Coal Measures. These the writer hopes to have an 
opportunity of describing later.
