There are also various undetermined otoliths of Gadidae from the 
Pliocene of Orciano (Tuscany) and Antibes (France). 
The Oiuiidiid.e are unknown among fossils, except perhaps by one 
imperfect skeleton and several otoliths, which have been described 
as follows and are not represented in the Collection : — 
Ophidium voltianum , A. B. Massalongo, Specimen Photogr. Anim. 
Foss. Agr. Yeron. (1859), p. 39, pi. xi.— Upper Eocene;

The specimen described as follows is too imperfect for exact
