I.—Description of Cycloptychius Carbonarius, Huxley, from the Coal Measures of North Staffordshire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The beautiful little fish, from the North Staffordshire ‘Deep Mine Ironstone,” named by Prof. Huxley Cycloptychius car-bonarius, has hitherto never been figured, and only a brief description of it was published in 1865 by Prof. Young, of Glasgow. Cursory allusion has been made to its teeth by Messrs. Hancock and Atthey, and to its scales by Mr. T. P. Barkas.

page 244 note 3 The ornament of the surface is in most of the specimens very badly preserved, or rather, badly seen, from the tendency of the superficial layer of the scale to split off. It is unusually well exhibited in the specimen, Pl. XII. Fig. 1, from whose scales the above description, and the magnified view in Fig. 5, were taken.
