IV.—Alphabetical Catalogue of Type Specimens of Fossil Fishes in the British Museum

Abstract

The fine series of Fossil Fishes in the National collection is exhibited in and constitutes the principal feature of Boom II. in the Northern Geological Gallery. The arrangement adopted is in accordance with the classification of Prof. L. Agassiz, as indicated in his great work, “Recherches sur les Poissons Fossiles,” but with such modifications as the subsequent investigations of ichthyologists have rendered necessary. These modifications occur chiefly among the fishes of the older formations.
