Extract

In a fragment of this kind of coal there was accidentally found a very fine specimen of a tooth, which the author considers to belong to the Megalichthys Hibberti of Agassiz. It is similar to some of those found in the limestone of Burdiehouse by Dr Hibbert, and is almost identical with that figured at p. 183 in Dr Hibbert's Memoir, in the 13th volume of the Society's Transactions; being about two inches long, and seven-eighths of an inch at the base, longitudinally striated, and covered with a shining enamel.
