Extract

The genus Phaneropleuron was instituted by Professor Huxley, in 1869, for the reception of that singular fish P. Andersoni, from the Upper Devonian Yellow Sandstone of Dura Den, in Fifeshire, which species was also subsequently described by him in the tenth Decade of the Geological Survey, published in 1861. In the present communication 1 have to add a second species, from the Lower Carboniferous strata (Burdiehouse Limestone) of Edinburghshire, by which our knowledge of the genus is thus certainly carried a stage further unwards in the geological series.
