Type. Nearly complete fish. 
The type species, attaining a length of about 0-25. Length of 
head with opercular apparatus contained about four times, and 
maximum depth of trunk much less than three times in the total 
length of the fish. Anterior stout pectoral fin-ray closely articulated 
in its distal half, extending nearly as far backward as the rays of 
the pelvic fins, which are small and arise somewhat nearer to the 
anal than to the pectoral pair ; dorsal fin with about 20 rays, 
arising behind the origin of the anal fin, which is more extended 
and comprises about 27 rays. Exposed aspect of scales very finely 
granulated, not grooved. 
Form, if Loc. Eocene (Green River Shales) : Wyoming, U.S. A. 
E- 5824. Imperfect specimen about 0‘19 in length, displaying the 
reticulate middle layer of the scales. By exchange, 1888. 
E. 7488. A much smaller specimen exhibiting the dentition, 
branehiostegal rays, and fins. Purchased, 1895.

Type. Nearly complete fish. 
A very small species, differing from the type in the less elongation 
°f the anterior pectoral fin-ray and in the almost equal size and 
extension of the dorsal and anal fins, each of which seems to 
comprise about 22 rays.
