ACTINOPTERYGII. 
P. 3639. A slightly larger fish, with more imperfect anal and 
caudal fins. The crushed cranium is exposed from below, 
and the maxilla is complete, only broken across at one 
point; the large teeth are conspicuous on the premaxillae, 
as also on the left dentary; and below the mandible the 
great extent of the gular plate is displayed. There are 
indications of slender ribs in the abdominal region, and 
the fish seems to have swallowed a Pholidophorus. The 
squamation is well preserved, and the dorsal fin almost 
complete. Enniskillen Coll. 
P. 3642. A smaller fish, more fractured, showing much of the 
abdominal squamation from the inner aspect and display¬ 
ing the robust peg-and-socket articulation of the flank- 
scales. Enniskillen Coll. 
38120. Fish about 0*42 in length, shown from the ventral aspect. 
The marginal dentition, branchiostegal apparatus, and 
paired fins are well shown. Both the pectoral and pelvic 
fins exhibit fulcra, and these on the latter are distinctly 
shown to be biserial. Each pelvic basipterygium seems to 
have been much expanded proximally, and contracted to 
a very narrow distal end. Purchased , 1864. 
38119. A similar specimen with more displaced squamation and 
with few teeth, but showing the anal fin. The fulcra on 
the pectoral fins are relatively small, those on the pelvic 
fins and anal fin well developed and biserial. Some scales 
in the abdominal region exhibit the peg-and-socket articu¬ 
lation. Purchased , 1864. 
47043. Equally large fish, much fractured, showing the head from 
the dorsal aspect, the trunk in side view, and wanting the 
caudal fin. Purchased, 1875. 
P. 2027, P. 2034. Two imperfect specimens about as large as the 
last; one displaying several head-bones in side view, part 
of the paired fins with fulcra, and some well-preserved 
scales ; the other vertically crushed, much fractured, and 
wanting all the fins except the caudal. Egerton Coll. 
38735. Another imperfect specimen, showing displaced bones of 
head and wanting median fins. Purchased , 1865. 
P. 3633 a. Two imperfect specimens, the first showing the robust 
haemal spines at the end of the caudal pedicle, the second 
exhibiting the jaws and branchiostegal apparatus.
