Extract

At the last meeting of the British Association the writer briefly described a remarkable series of bones of a large unknown fish from the Oxford Clay of Peterborough, preserved in the collection of Mr. Alfred N. Leeds, of Eyebury. The name of Leedsichthys problematicus was proposed for the genus and species thus indicated; and the systematic position of the fish remained doubtful, owing to the fragmentary character of its skeleton.
