Extract

Since the works of Agassiz and Egerton, few contributions have been made to the knowledge of British Jurassic “Ganoid” and “Teleostean” Fishes, and a considerable amount of undescribed material has thus accumulated in various collections. Much more progress has been made upon the Continent, where the Lithographic Stones of Bavaria, Würtemberg, and Ain, especially, yield a rich assemblage of forms in a remarkable state of preservation; and it is now an interesting study to compare the British Jurassic fossils with their well-known continental allies. Such an undertaking is facilitated by the recent appearance of Prof. Dr. K. A. von Zittel's admirable critical summary of the extinct Mesozoic fishes; and it is the object of the present notice to offer some preliminary remarks upon a few of the more prominent types observed by the author in English collections.
