the Senonian Beds of AVestphaUa and the uppermost Cretaceous 
deposits of Mount Lebanon have furnished numerous well-preserved 
fishes, first noticed in detail by J. W. Davis ”, but considerably 
revised in the present volume. 
The innumerable Selacbian teeth of Tertiary age, discovered in 
almost all marine deposits, are described in several extensive 
memoirs. In England, many are noticed by F. Dixon (op. cit .) ; 
those of France are made known by P. Gervais'* , F. Bassani ”, and
