THE FISHES OF LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND. 
July, 1889, the Leicester Museum became possessed for the first time, through 
the exertions of Mr. John Kaven, of part of a specimen from the planorhis zone 
shewing finely preserved and beautifully sculptured scales. I know of no other 
specimens. 
Gyrolepis * alhertii, Agassiz. 
Mr. Harrisonf found, in the Rhaetic bone-beds, Spinney Hills, many scales 
now in the Museum, and Mr. Quilter has obtained, from the same place, a 
large number of scales J which have now been also acquired by the Museum. 
Rhadinichthys ornatissimus (Agassiz). 
This species is recorded, § under the name of Palceoniscus ornatissimus, from 
the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Coal-Field. 
Elonichthys egertoni (Egerton, ex Agassiz’ MS.). 
Recorded, § under the name of Palceoniscus egertoni, from the same locality 
as the preceding species. 
Paloeoniscus, Agassiz (sp. ind.). 
Recorded from the same locality, and probably referrible to one of the 
preceding species. 
Amhlypterus, Agassiz. 
Recorded § from the same locality as the preceding species, but some mistake 
has been made, as Mr. Woodward kindly informs me that “ The genus has been 
shown by Traquair not to occur in the Carboniferous. The name was doubtless 
given to some indeterminable Palaeoniscid scales.” 
Family PLATYSOMIDtE. 
Platysomns parvulus, Agassiz. 
Recorded, § as P. striatus, from the same locality as the preceding species, 
but, as striatus appears to be confined to the Permian, P. parvulus was probably 
intended. 
Amphicentrum, Young (sp. ind.). 
Recorded § from the same locality as the preceding species. 
* This genus is recorded by W. Molyneux, F.G.S., in Appendix ‘ Burton-on-Trent, etc., 
etc.,’ as occurring in the Coal Measures, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, but this is a mistake (see Traquair, 
‘ Q. J. G. S.,’ 1877, p. 567), and it may be referrible to Acrolepis. 
t ‘ Geol. L. and R.,’ p. 35. 
t Recorded by A. S. Woodward, ‘Trans. Leicester Lit. and Phil. Soc.’, April, 1889, p. 20.
