    of Fenton, should have been mentioned as the collector of a fine series of fishes from the Stafibrdshire Coal-measures, which will shortly become the property of the British Museum. In connection with the Carboniferous fishes of the Edinburgh Coal-field, the writers also regret to add that they failed to distinguish between the private and public collections made and extended by Dr. E. H. Traquair, as Keeper of the Natural History Department in the Edinburgh Museum. In this case, however, it is not possible to rectify the error at present, there being no list or catalogue of either of these collections. A few names applied by Owen to London Clay Teleosteans, in the Cat. Foss, Eept. Pisces Mus. E. Coll. Surgeons, were also over- looked ; but most of these refer to species already recorded under the MS. names of Agassiz, and it is thus proposed to defer entering them until the synonymy has been investigated.
