equally large but imperfect individual of R. fiircatus. 
Five or six of the upper lath-shaped branchiostegal rays 
are shown. Leiuis Coll. 
P. 4849. Slab exhibiting a much-distorted specimen in association 
with two small examples of R. furcatus. Lewis Coll, 
47367, 48093-95. Four imperfect smaller specimens. The first 
exhibits a series of at least nine branchiostegal ravs, the 
upper four or five lath-shaped, the others more slender. 
The second specimen shows one of the large slender teeth 
towards the base of the premaxilla. The third specimen 
bears traces of the characteristically-expanded anterior 
neural spines. Lewis Coll. 
47365-66, 47383, 47815, 49545. Five still smaller specimens, 
variously imperfect. Lewis Coll. 
The following species has also been described, but is not repre¬ 
sented in the Collection ;—

Rliinellus tenuirostris : LcJitJiyotringa tenuirostris, E, D. Cope, 
Bull. U.S. Geol. Surv. Territ. vol. iv. (1878), p. 69.—Upper 
^ Cretaceous; Dakota. [Type species of Lchtlujotringa.

: The so-called Rliinellus curtirostris (J. AY. Davis, Trans. Eoy. 
Dublin Soc. [2] vol. iii. 1887, p. 610, pi. xxxvii. fig. 2), from the 
Upper Cretaceous of Hakel, Mt. Lebanon, is founded on a frag¬ 
mentary specimen of Scombroclupea macrophtlialma, now in the 
Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art. 
The name Rliinellus nasalls was given by Agassiz (lYeues Jahrb. 
1835, p. 291) to an indeterminable fish from the Upper Eocene of 
Monte Bolca, described and figured as Pegasus lesiniformis by G. S. 
Yolta, Ittiolit. Y^eronese (1796), p. clix, pi. xxxix. fig. 1. 
The name Rliinellus schilli was given by H. von Meyer (iYeues 
Jahrb. 1863, p. 450) to some undetermined fragments, not of this 
genus, from the Lower Tertiary of Hammerstein, Baden. 
Indeterminable fragments, of no scientific value, were described 
as follows and placed near Rliinellus :— 
Rhamphornimia rhinelloides, 0. G. Costa, Mem. E. Accad. Sci. 
Napoli, vol. ii. (1857), p. 108, pi. ii. fig. 2.— Upper 
Cretaceous; Mt. Lebanon. [Fragments, partly Crus¬ 
tacean ; Geological Museum, University of Naples.]
