represented by skeletons from the Upper Eocene of Monte 
Bolca. 
Fishes related to the Stromateidse (Plcctycormus, Bevy- 
copsis) and Carangidee (Aipichthys, Fig. 110) also occur in 
the Cretaceous of England, Westphalia, Austria, and Mount 
Lebanon; and an apparently true Percoid is known from 
the uppermost Chalk of France ( Prolcites ). 
The Tertiary Acanthopterygii, which occupy Table-cases 
31, 32, and Wall-cases 17; 18, are mostly referable to 
existing genera. Among fossil Carangoids Mene (Fig. Ill), 
Fig. 111 .—Mene rhombeus, from the Upper Eocene of Monte Bolca, near 
Verona; about one-third nat. size. (Table-case31.) 
Vomer opsis and Semiophorus (Fig. 112) from Monte Bolca 
are remarkable. Some of the jaws of the Scombroid Cybium 
from the English Eocene represent unusually large species. 
The long-bodied slender-snouted Palseorhynchidse, chiefly 
from the Oligocene black slates of Glarus, are a strange 
early Tertiary family; as also are the Blochiidse from the Upper 
Eocene of Monte Bolca. Smerdis (Fig. 113) is one of the 
commonest extinct Percoids, from the European Eocene, 
Oligocene, and Miocene. Sparidse must have been very 
common throughout the Tertiary period, but they are usually 
represented merely by detached teeth (provisionally referred 
to Chrysophrys, etc.). There are, however, many good
