A small fish from the Bavarian Lithographic Stone, now in 
the Dresden Museum, may possibly be an immature example of 
this species, but is not certainly determinable. It exhibits no 
ossifications in the notochordal sheath, and is provisionally named 
Eurycormus dubius by B. Vetter, Mittheil. k. mineral.-geol. Mus. 
Dresden, pt. iv. (18S1), p. 113, pi. ii. fig. 7. Fulcra are observable 
on the paired fins.

Type. Anterior portion of fish ; British Museum. 
A large species, the head with opercular apparatus in the two 
only known specimens about 0*18 in length. Cranial roof-bones 
and parts of the facial bones coarsely rugose, with few tubercula- 
tions; maxilla smooth, more than twice as deep behind as in front; 
opercular bones very feebly rugose and sparsely tuberculated. 
Scales finely ornamented with minute tubercles and short rugae, 
which are closely arranged in antero-posterior series. 
Form. Loc. Kimmeridgian : Speeton, Yorkshire. Oxfordian ; 
K orthamptonshire. 
P. 569. The type specimen described and figured by Egerton, loc . 
cit ., and further noticed by Huxley and the present writer ; 
in waterworn indurated matrix, described as obtained 
from “ Gault, Speeton,” but stated by Leckenby to have 
been found in the stratum immediately above the clay 
with Ammonites biplex. Much of the fossil is very 
obscure, and it is only necessary to add to Egerton's 
description in three particulars. Firstly, it may be 
part m.
