P. 5696. Pine large head ; Cuxton, Kent. The occipital portion of 
the cranium is lost, but the characteristic cheek-plates and 
ja,ws are well preserved, with the opercular apparatus, 
pectoral arch, and remains of five anterior vertebrae. The 
external bones are very finely rugose, and the operculum 
is almost completely covered with scales. Harford Coll. 
P.6049. Smaller head, pectoral arch, and scales; Chalk, Kent. 
Kugose scales are shown to cover the cheek. 
Presented hy F. Harford, Esq., 1889. 
The following specimens seem to represent undetermined species 
of Berycoq^sis :— 
25886. Imperfect small fish described and figured as the type 
specimen of Stenostomapulcliella by F. Dixon, Greol. Sussex 
(1850), p. 373, pi. xxxvi. fig. 2; Chalk, Steyning, Sussex. 
The cheek-plates, maxilla, and supramaxilla seem to be 
those of Berycopsis, and the scales extend over the oper¬ 
culum. The dorsal fin-supports prove that the fin arose 
far forwards. The scales are small, rather thick and 
finely pectinated, not clearly serrated. Dixon Coll. 
P. 5686. Large head and trunk with finely pectinated scales; 
Chalk, Cuxton, Kent. Harford Coll. 
The so-called Berycopsis lindstromi (J. W. Davis, Trans. Koy. 
Dublin Soc. [2] vol. iv. 1890, p. 422, pi. xliv.), from the Upper 
Cretaceous of Limhamn, Scania, is based on a generically indeter¬ 
minable portion of trunk in the Ko}^! State Muo o um , Stockholm.
