stout, not supported by transverse processes. The upper 
and lower limbs of the bent clavicle are equal in size; 
and one of the pectoral fins, which is displaced and 
apparently incomplete, shows remains of ten rays. The 
lateral scutes are very well exhibited, and each is pierced 
by a tubular perforation for the passage of the sensory 
canal of the lateral line. These scutes begin to appear 
immediately behind the pectoral arch and extend regularly 
to the base of the caudal fin ; at least 45 are indicated on 
each side, and the series is probably not quite complete 
behind. Presented hy A. S. Woodward, Esq., 1898.
