49523, 49591. Small slab with remains of three individuals, and 
another exhibiting one fish in association with an im¬ 
perfect Tlirissopteroides. In the first specimen may bo 
noted the expanded laminar form of the anterior neural 
spines, and the thickening of the scales of the lateral line.

P. 4851. The type specimen about 0*4 in length, described and 
figured loc. cit. The skull is crushed so that the right 
and left sides of the jaws are separated. The produced 
upper jaw is thus proved to consist only of the elongated 
premaxillae, while the mandible is shown to be destitute 
of a presymphysial bone. The premaxilla bears a spaced 
series of large, slender, conical teeth, which are erect, 
gradually increase in size backwards, and are shown by 
fragments to have been very large on that part of the 
bone which is in contact with the cranial rostrum. 
Between the large teeth there are smaller denticles. The 
spaced teeth of the dentary are much smaller than those 
of the premaxilla, and seem to attain their greatest size in 
the middle of the bone, diminishing both backwards and 
forwards. The structure of the hinder part of the jaws is 
not clear, but the mandible does not seem to have been
