most dorsal fin -ray. They are grouped together by him under the 
name of Clupea ( Meletta ) doljeana (Kramberger, Beitr. Paliiont. 
Oesterr.-Ungarns, vol. iii. 1883, p. 77, pi. xiv. fig. 4), and recorded 
from Dolje, Podsused, and Yrabce. There are no specimens in the 
Collection. 
The fishes described as follows are not represented in the Collec- 
tion and are not clearly distinguished from Clupea : — 
Alosina salnionea, A. Wagner, Sitzungsb. k. bay. Akad. Wiss., 
math.-phys. Cl. 1860, p. 54. — Upper Eocene: Wernleiten, 
near Traunstein, Bavaria. [Nearly complete fish ; Palm- 
ontological Museum, Munich.] 
Clupeops insignis, H. E. Sauvage, in F. Fontannes, Le Bassin de 
Crest (1880), p. 209, pi. vii. figs. 4, 5 . — Lower Miocene ; 
Eurre, Drome. [Type species of Clupeops. Imperfect fish.] 
To this or the closely-related family of Aiepocbphalidss may 
probably be referred the portion of the trunk of a fish described as 
follows : — 
Esox monasteriemis, W. von der Marck, Palaeontogr. vol. xi. 
(1863), p. 32, pi. iii. fig. 3. — Upper Cretaceous : Senden- 
horst, Westphalia. [Imperfect trunk : Academy of 
Miinster.] 
Family SALMONIDiE. 
Recent fishes distinguished from the Clupeidse by the presence of 
an a dipose dorsal fin and the incompleteness of the oviducts ; also 
by the normal overlapping of the postclavicular plate by the clavicle. 
The extinct genera not being recognisable from their skeletons, the 
family was united by Agassiz with those of the Clupeoids under 
the comprehensive designation of Halecid®. 
Genus SALMO (Artedi), Linmeus. 
[Syst. Nat. ed. 10, 1758, p. 308.] 
Head large, and trunk elongate-fusiform with rounded abdomen. 
Mouth deeply cleft and dentition powerful ; spaced conical teeth on 
the premaxilla, maxilla, dentary, vomer, and palatine, none on 
pterygoids. Paired fins of moderate size, the pelvic pair opposed to 
the median dorsal; anal fin short, with not more than 14 rays; 
caudal fin truncate. Scales small. 
This genus ranges throughout the freshwaters of the arctic and
