Belonging to the Order Ganoidei, this fish is with equal certainty referable to the family Palæoniscidæ, but its _genus_ is more a matter of doubt owing to the fragmentary nature of the specimen. Judging from the form and thickness of the scales, I should be inclined to refer it to _Acrolepis_, were it not that the dorsal and anal fins seem so close to the tail, and so nearly opposite each other; here, however, it may be remarked that the disturbed state of the scales affords room for the possibility that the original relations of the parts may not be perfectly preserved. I have, however, no doubt that, as a _species_, it is new; and as you have been the first to bring fossil fishes from those regions of Central Africa, you will perhaps allow me to name it _Acrolepis_ (?) _Drummondi_. No. 2 is a piece of cream-colored limestone, with numerous minute, scattered, rhombic, striated, ganoid scales, which I cannot venture to name, though I believe them to be palæoniscid. Associated with these is a small portion of the margin of a jaw, with numerous minute sharp conical teeth. But also lying among these minuter relics is a scale of a much larger size, and clearly belonging to another fish. It measures 1-4 inch in height by the same in breadth; its shape is rhomboidal, having an extensive anterior covered area, and a strong articular spine projecting from the upper margin. The free surface is brilliantly ganoid, and marked with furrows separating feeble ridges, which pass rather obliquely downwards and backwards across the scale, and terminate in eight sharp denticulations of the hinder margin. A little way off is the impression of the attached surface of a similar scale, and there are also two interspinous bones, probably belonging to the same fish. This is probably also a palæoniscid scale, resembling in shape those of _Acrolepis_, but it is rather thinner than is usually the case in this genus. It has also considerable resemblance to some of those scales from the European Trias, named by Agassiz _Gyrolepis_. Though it may be rather venturesome to name a species from such slender material, nevertheless we may, provisionally at least, recognize the scale as _Acrolepis (?) Africanus_. Nos. 3 and 4 are small pieces of the same limestone, covered with the minute striated palæoniscid scales referred to above. No. 5 is a piece of gray micaceous shale, with scales of yet a fourth species of palæoniscid fish. One conspicuous scale unfortunately, like all the rest, seen only from the attached surface, is 1-4 inch in height by nearly 1-6 in breadth; it is tolerably rectangular in shape, having a well-developed articular spine and fossette. Part of the scale is broken away at the anterior margin, the impression brought into view showing that the covered area is narrow, and indicating that the free surface is striated with rather sharp ridges passing obliquely across the scale. The posterior margin is finely denticulated.
