Extract

The occurrence of a fish generically identical with Eurycormus of the Bavarian Lithographic stone, in the Upper Jurassic of England, has already been indicated by the discovery of a well-preserved head with some anterior vertebras in the Kimmeridge Clay of Ely. Only one specimen, however, has hitherto been recognized; and during a recent search for further evidence of the fish among British fossils the present writer has thus been gratified to find two more examples in the collection of the British Museum.
