Platysomus macrurus occurs in Marl-slate at Kast Thickley, and Ferry-Hill. The 
beautiful specimen figured, originally procured by Mr. I. Jameson, and now belonging 
to the Newcastle Museum, was found in the latter locality.

The figure given of this species in the ‘ Poissons Fossiles,’ pl. xvii, vol. ii, is taken 
from a specimen in the collection of the Kar! of Enniskillen, the finest and most 
perfect example of the fish then known. This plate was substituted for the one 
originally prepared, which contained two figures, one a copy of the lithograph accom- 
panying Professor Sedgwick’s paper in the ‘Geological Transactions, the other 
representing a small specimen in Professor Johnston’s collection. The references in 
the letter-press have been accidentally retained, as they were originally written, as 
applicable to the cancelled plate. The figure accompanying this monograph is taken 
1 Professor Sedgwick, referring to Platysomus macrurus, observes, that this “Fossil Fish” is “of the 
same genus with the preceding, but apparently of a different species.”’ Vide Index to plate xii.
