Extract

During a recent visit to the University Museum at Oxford, I observed in the Grindrod Collection an interesting small fossil apparently adding to the known fauna of the Ledbury Passage Beds a remarkable type of fish, hitherto only met with in the Middle and Upper Devonian of the United States. Through the kindness of Professor Green, I have since had the opportunity of studying this specimen in London; and it is shown, of twice the natural size, in the accompanying Woodcut. It may be regarded as an imperfect example of the so-called “intermandibular arch” of the extinct ganoid, Onychodus, described by Prof. Newberry from the Corniferous Limestone of Ohio, and the Chemung Group of Delaware County, New York.
