The fry of Leptolepis from the Purbeck Beds of the Yale of 
AYardour bearing the undefined name of L. nanus (Egerton, in 
Brodie’s Eoss. Insects, 1845, p. 15, pi. i. fig. 5) is insufficient for 
specific determination and quite possibly belongs to L. brodiei. The 
following specimen represents the immature fish:—

Type. Nearly complete fish ; Imperial Geological Survey Museum, 
Yienna. 
A small stout species attaining a length of about 0*05. Length 
of head with opercular apparatus slightly less than the maximum 
depth of the trunk and contained scarcely more than four times in 
the total length of the fish ; width of the caudal pedicle not 
exceeding one-third of the maximum depth of the abdominal region. 
Yertebrae less than 40 in number. Pelvic fins arising opposite the 
origin of the dorsal, which has 14 rays ; anal fin with about 
12 rays, very slightly nearer to the caudal than to the pelvic fins. 
The enlarged sketch of the jaws published by Bassani seems to 
the present writer to be a misleading interpretation of obscure 
specimens. (J
