1.—On the Lower Devonian Fish-Fauna of Campbellton, New Brunswick

Abstract

The Lower Devonian Fish-Fauna of Campbellton, New Brunswick, has already been described by Mr. Whiteaves, of the Canadian Geological Survey, and Dr. Traquair, of Edinburgh; and a few supplementary observations are published in the British Museum Catalogue of Fossil Fishes, Part II. (1891). Much, however, still remains to be learned concerning the skeletal anatomy of the genera and species already determined; and many types of early fishes will doubtless soon be discovered by future explorers of the formation and locality in question. A new series of specimens just received by the British Museum from Mr. R. F. Damon, of Weymouth, adds some small items of interest to our knowledge of the subject; and the following notes relate to the advance thus made. The fossils under discussion were collected last summer by Mr. Jex, and are all much crushed and flattened in the usual manner.
