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. 
I The so-called Aspius veccUlifer, Sauvage (Ann. Sci. Nat. [5] 
vol. xiv. 1870, art. no. 7, p. 15, and Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. iv. 1873, 
art. no. 1, p. 188, fig. 103), from a marine Tipper Miocene 
formation at Licata, Sicily, does 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¬ 
mination. 
The so-called Aspius ecnomi and A. columnce (Sauvage, loc. cif. 
1870, p. 16, and loc. cit. 1873, p. 189, fig. 86), from Licata, are 
equally doubtful and not represented in the Collection. The 
latter is recorded from Eacalmuto, Sicily, by C. Pollini, Atti 
Soc. LigusGASci. Nat. vol. ii. (1891), p. 121, and from Mondaino, 
Province of Forli, Italy, by I. Bonomi, Bivista Ital. Paleont. vol. ii. 
(1896), p. 224. . 
The existing genus Ahramis, Cuvier, seems to be represented by 
the following fossil:— 
P. 8721. Pharyngeal tooth, similar to those in the Museum of 
Practical Geology referred to Ahramis hrama (Linn.) by 
E. T. Newton, Yert. Forest Bed (Mem. Geol. Surv. 1882), 
p. 126, pi. xviii. figs. 19, 20 ; Upper Freshwater Bed, 
West Bunton, Norfolk. Savin Coll. 
The existing genus Alburnus, Heckel, is supposed to be repre¬ 
sented by two extinct species, not in the Collection, described as 
follows:— 
Alburnus 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.] CLc ’ ' - 
Alburnus steinclachneri, G. C. Laube, Abhandl. Yer. Lotos, vol. ii. , , 
(1900),p.51, pl.iv.fig.2.—Miocene; Bohemia. [Imperfect 
fish; Teplitz Museum.]
