of the anal, exactly as in Ghondrosteus.” The discovery of this specimen is 
briefly mentioned by Mr. A. S. Woodward in his paper on the “Palaeontology of 
Sturgeons,” ‘ Proc. Geol. Assoc.,’ May, 1889, p. 44. It will, however, be fully 
described and figured by myself in a forthcoming part of the ‘ Trans. Leicester 
Lit. and Phil. Soc.,’ being specially interesting as having never been discovered 
until now from any part of the world save Lyme Pegis. 
Family ACIPENSERIDiE. 
STURGEON. Acipenser sturio, Linnaeus. 
A rare straggler of accidental occurrence. — Harley said a specimen was 
taken in the Soar, below Loughborough, but gave no date. Mr. Ingram 
informs me that some years ago a small specimen was taken in the little 
river Smite, near to Belvoir. 
Order CROSSOPTEEYGII. 
Family OSTEOLEPID^. 
Megalichthys hihherti, Agassiz. 
This species is recorded* from the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Coal-Field, and also 
under the name of Diplopterus carbonarius. 
Rhomboptychius, Huxley (sp. ind.). 
Recorded * from the same locality as the preceding species. 
Family RHIZODONTID^. 
Rhizodopsis, Williamson (sp. ind.). 
Recorded * from the same locality as the preceding species, and is probably 
Rhizodopsis sauroides. Molyneux also mentions Rhizodus granulatiis and minor ^ 
which are almost certainly referrible to this species. 
Family CCELACANTHID^. 
Coelacanthus lepturus, Agassiz. 
Recorded* from the same locality as the preceding species.
