Lepidopus mener/hinii is an undefined name for a fossil fish from 
the Upper Miocene of Gabbro, Tuscany (do Bosniaski, Atti Soc. 
Tosc. — Proc.-Verb. vol. i. 1878, p. six.). 
Barbed teeth like those of Lepidopus have also been described 
from the Oligocene of Alsace (A. Andreae, Mitth. geol. Landesanst. 
Elsass-Lothr. vol. iii. 1890, p. 108, figs. 3, 4) ; from the Miocene of 
Saucat.s, Gironde ( Trichiurides mioccenus, E. Delfortrie, Actes cc. 
Einn. Bordeaux, vol. xxxi. 1876, p. 32, figs. 1— 5)i and from 
Pliocene of Sardinia ( Thyrsites lovisaloi, F. Bassani, Atti R. Accad. 
Sci. Napoli, [2] vol. iv. 1891, no. 3, p. 54, pi. i. fig- 5. P 1 - >'•
