Extract

No district of Great Britain is so rich in genera and species of Carboniferous Dipnoi and Ganoidei as that of Fife and the Lothians, and in the frequency of entire specimens of these fishes it is only approached by North Staffordshire.

Another feature of the greatest geological interest is the abundance of fish remains in estuarine strata below the horizon of the Millstone grit, whereby a means of comparing the Ganoid fish faunæ of the Upper and Lower divisions of the Carboniferous formation is afforded.
