elevated ; dorsal fin much less deep than the trunk at its origin, 
comprising 17 or 18 rays, of which the two or three foremost are

P- 3821. Fine large specimen about 0'25 in length, with open 
mouth displaying the maxilla and premaxilla chiefly in 
impression. The greater part of the fish is shown only 
in impression, and there seems to be evidence of an adipose 
dorsal fin. Enniskillen Coll. 
1*. 2101. Equally large fish, much broken and distorted before or 
during fossilisation, but displaying the characteristic

Type. Imperfect distorted fish ; Geneva Museum. 
A species about 0‘15 in length, known only by imperfect and 
distorted specimens insufficient for the basis of a precise diagnosis. 
General proportions apparently as in the type species, but the 
vertebrae 40 in number, the dorsal fin-rays only 10 or 11 in number 
and the scales very' feebly serrated.
