43791-92. Two smaller specimens. Van Breda Coll. 
43443. Fragmentary larger specimen. 
Presented by Kenneth Murchison, Esq., 1872. 
Pharyngeal teeth of a species of Aspius are recorded from the 
Miocene of Bohemia by G. C. Laube, Abhandl. Yer. Lotos, vol. ii. 
(1900), p. 53, with fig. 
The so-called Aspius vexillifer, Sauvage (Ann. Sci. Nat. [5] 
v °l. xiv. 1870, art. no. 7, p. 15, and Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. iv. 1873, 
ar t. no. 1, p. 188, fig. 103), from a marine Upper Miocene 
formation at Licata, Sicily, docs not appear to be a Cyprinoid. A 
specimen from Licata thus labelled in the Egerton Coll. (P. 1842), 
has the aspect of a Scopeloid but does not admit of precise deter- 
Eiination. 
The so-called Aspius ecnoxni and A, columnce (Sauvage, loc. ext . 
18 70, p. 16, an(i i oe% ciL ! 373 , p . 189, fig. 86), from Licata, are 
equally doubtful and not represented in the Collection. Ihe 
latter is recorded from Racalmuto, Sicily, by C. Pollini, Atti 
Soe - Ligust. Sci. Nat. vol. ii. (1891), p. 121, and from Mondaino, 
Province of Forli, Italy, by I. Bonomi, Rivista Ital. Paleont. vol. ii. 
(1896), p. 224. 
Ihe existing genus Abrctmis, Cuvier, seems to be represented by 
the following fossil : — 
8721. Pharyngeal tooth, similar to those in the Museum of 
Practical Geology referred to Abramis brama (Linn.) by 
E. T. Newton, Vert. Forest Bed (Mem. Geol. Surv. 1882), 
p. 126, pi. xviii. figs. 19, 20 ; Upper Freshwater Bed, 
West Runton, Norfolk. Savin Coll. 
Ihe existing genus Albumus, Heckel, is supposed to be repre- 
®ented by two extinct species, not in the Collection, described as 
follows : 
Albumus miocaenicus, F. Kinkelin, Ber. Senckenberg. naturf. Ges. 
[2] vol. xvi. (1884), p. 252, pi. iii. figs. 3-12.— Lower 
Miocene; Niederrad, near Frankfurt. [Pharyngeal teeth ; 
Senckenberg Museum.] 
Albumus steindachneri, G. C. Laube, Abhandl. Ver. Lotos, vol. ii. 
( 1900), p. 5 1 , pi. iv. fig. 2. — Miocene ; Bohemia. [Imperfect 
fish; Teplitz Museum.]
