PREFACE.

Durinc his work of arranging the Palzontological
ebliections of the Museum, Mr. Bolton has noted the various
type fossils “s they presented themselves for consideration,
and lists of these have been forwarded to Mr. A. Smith
Woodward, the Secretary of the British Association

Committee, for their registration.

When the meeting of the Museums’ Association was about
to be held in Manchester in July, 1892, I suggested to Mr.
Bolton that a list of the types and figured specimens, as
complete as he could compile, would be an appropriate
communication to that Society. The present Catalogue is
the result of his labours in that direction. _ References
have been given to the more important papers treating of
the species under consideration, and in almost every case
these have been verified by consulting the original sources.
The descriptions of two forms—Cyclus Scotts and Myrtolepis
Hibernica—were drawn up for this Catalogue, but have been
published in the Geological Magazine whilst it was in the press.
The Museum is much indebted to Dr. H. Woodward, F’.R.S.,
and Dr. R. H. Traquair, F.R.S., for their kindness in com-

municating the respective descriptions and drawings.

INTRODUCTION.

MONGST the many fossils which a museum may
AS possess, those which have the distinction of being
the first described of their kind are the most valuable.
Serving, as they do, as types or standards of genera and
species, their precise whereabouts cannot be too well known.
With the object of extending this knowledge, the present
list of the types and figured specimens in the possession of
the Manchester Museum has been prepared.

The present Geological Section of this museum has been
mainly formed by the fusion of the following collections :—

Bowman Collection.—A collection of Silurian and Coal .
Measure fossils. Acquired by gift by the Manchester
Geological Society in 1842, and transferred to the Museum
in 1864.

Bird Collection.—A general collection of fossils and
minerals, containing many excellently preserved specimens.
Acquired by purchase, 1883.

Cumberland Collection. —A collection of Crinoids, from
the Carboniferous Limestone of Bristol and neighbourhood,
and also of Apiocrinus from the Bradford Clay. Amongst
the latter are the originals of the figures in Cumberland’s
*“‘ Reliquiz . Conservate.” Acquired by purchase by the
Manchester Geological Society, in 1842, and transferred to
the Museum in 1864.

2 CATALOGUE OF TYPES AND FIGURED SPECIMENS

Darbishire Collection.—A general collection of fossils
of all formations, presented over a period of years, from
1875 onwards.

Boyd Dawkins Collection.—A large collection of fossils
from all formations, and including the major part of the
Vertebrate and other remains obtained by Professor Dawkins
from caves and fissures of Pleistocene Age. Acquired by
gift, 1889.

Edwards Collection.—A large collection of fish and
other remains, from the Old Red Sandstone of Caithness.
Acquired by purchase, 1891.

Finlay Collection.—A large series .of Neolithic Im-
plements from Greece and the Greek Isles. Acquired by
S1lt,, 2077.

Forbes Collection.—The collection of the late Professor
David Forbes, consisting of fossils, minerals, and rock-
specimens. Acquired by purchase, 1877.

Franks Collection.—A large series of Neolithic Im-
plements from Scandinavia. Acquired by gift, 1877.

Gibson Collection.—This consists of fossils from the
Yoredale Shales, and Millstone Grit Series of the Vale of
Todmorden, Yorkshire. Most of the specimens are types of
the genera and species described by the late Captain T.
Brown. Some of the species described by him have not yet
been traced. A few specimens bear MS. names. Acquired
by gift by the Manchester Geological Society, in 1843, and
transferred to the Museum in 1864.

Homfray Collection.—A small collection of Cambrian
fossils, many of which are types described by Salter and
Hicks. Acquired by gift, 1875.

Lightbody Collection.—A magnificent collection of fossils
from the Cambrian and Silurian formations, containing
types described and figured by Salter, Woodward, Blake,
and others. Acquired by gift, 1875.

IN THE MANCHESTER MUSEUM. 3

Roeder Collection.—A general collection of’ fossils and
prehistoric remains, including a very complete series of
fossils from the Permian Marls of Manchester and the
Zechstein of Gera, Thiiringen. Acquired by gift, 1890-91.

Thompson Collection.—A collection of Neolithic Im-
_ plements and remains from the Lakes of Brienne,
Switzerland. Acquired by gift at various times.

Toulmin Smith Collection.—A collection of sponges
from the Upper Greensand and Chalk. Acquired by gift.

Waters Collection.—A large collection of European
Tertiary fossils. Acquired by gift, 1885.

Williamson Collection.—A large general collection of
_ fossils, especially rich in specimens of the fauna and flora
c of the Yorkshire Oolites. Several examples of the latter
“are types figured and described by Lindley and Hutton
in their ‘Fossil Flora of Great Britain.” Acquired by
gift, 1888.

In drawing up this catalogue I have received assistance,
which I desire gratefully to acknowledge, from Professors
Dawkins and Williamson, of the Owens College; Dr. H.
Woodward and Mr. A. Smith Woodward, of the British
Museum; Dr. R. H. Traquair, of the Edinburgh Museum
of Science and Art; and Messrs. F. A. Bather, J. W.
Davis, R. Kidston, E. T. Newton, and Mark Stirrup. I
have also to thank the Paleontographical Society, the
Geological Society, the Clarendon Press, and Messrs. Taylor
and Francis for the use of illustrations.

Two plaster casts of Stigmarian trunks found at Dixon
Fold in making the railway from Manchester to Bolton, in
1837. It is a little doubtful whether Bowman’s figures were
taken from the plaster casts or from the original trunks. In
figuring the plaster casts, Professor Williamson thus alludes
to them :—‘‘On examining the trees discovered at Dixon
Fold it soon became obvious that the shaly materials of
which they were composed would give way, however care-
fully they might be protected from the weather. Hence an
Italian artist named Bally, well skilled in the art of making
moulds, was employed to obtain exact casts of the two most
important of the above trees.” These casts are now in
the Manchester Museum.

A Dorsal aspect of carapace ; B Left postero-lateral margin,

Typr.—Shield, or carapace, nearly circular in outline,
bilaterally symmetrical (25 mm. broad by 20 mm. long),
having a well-marked median ridge dividing the carapace
in half for 8 mm. from the posterior border; posterior
margin slightly indented or notched in the centre; the
lateral and posterior margins of the shield encircled by a
smooth raised rim, which stops short at the antero-lateral
margin (which is slightly compressed where the rim ter-
minates), the shield being truncated for a breadth of 12 mm.
in front. There is evidence on the right side of a slight
extension of the smooth margin of the shield outside the ~
raised rim; anteriorly the shield is ornamented by four —
nearly equal oval prominences, each being about 5 mm. 7
long, placed two on either side of the central line,+ with
their longer axis directed towards the front of the shield; a
well-marked, smooth, semicircular ridge occupies the centre
of each lateral area, and unites with the raised median
ridge near the posterior border of the shield. The area
enclosed between the outer and median ridges becomes

3 considerably narrower as these approach the centre,

near the posterior region of the carapace. The median
ridge ends in front, close to the outer pair of oval pro-—
minences ; two other rather semicircular smooth raised ridges,
broader and shorter than the preceding ridge (by which,
indeed, they are encircled), occupy the inner and more
central portion of the shield, the outer one commencing
_ near to the inner one on the central ridge, at 5min. distance
_ from the posterior border, and curving forwards until they
touch the posterior ends of the two pairs of oval prominences
near the front of the carapace. In the centre, between these
raised ridges and the oval bodies, is a small lozenge-shaped
area, which is continued backwards till it unites with the
median ridge of the shield. The surface of the shield
(particularly the posterior portion) is very finely granulated
with minute circular and oval pustules (see wood-cut, Fig. B).
No eye-spots are observable (unless a pair of the oval pro-
minences in front may represent eyes). There is no trace
of any appendages to be discerned on the matrix.
OBsERVATIONS.—Of the seven species of Cyclus described
by me from this country, six are from the Carboniferous
_ Limestone of Yorkshire and Ireland (see Geol. Mag., 1870,
| vol. vii., pp. 554-558, pl. 23), and one from the Coal-
Shales of Carluke, Scotland (see Brit. Assoc. Reports, 1868,
p. 72, pl. ii., fig. 1, and op. cit.) Several specimens, not
yet described, were obtained, many years since, from the
Pennystone Ironstone, over the thick coal of the Staffordshire
Coal-field, at Coseley, near Dudley, by the late Mr. Henry
Johnson, C.E., F.G.S., of Dudley, and an account of them
will be shortly published.
In general outline this species from Bacup resembles
most nearly Oyclus (Halicyne?) agnotus, H. von Meyer, sp.,
from the Muschelkalk of Rottweil, Germany (see Paleonto-
_ graphica, 1847, i., p. 234, pl. xix., fig. 23), but it differs
in having an indentation or notch in the posterior border,
whereas the German specimen has a small prominence. The

arrangement of the ornamentation of the shield is also very
distinct. I have, therefore, no hesitation in treating it as a
new species, and have named it Cyclus Scottt, after its dis-
coverer, Mr. George Scott, by whom it was presented, some
time ago, to the Manchester Museum, Owens College.

Type.—Of the fossil fish now to be described I know
only two specimens, of which one is in the Manchester
Museum, Owens College, the other in the Museum of
Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, London. Both are from
the Coal Measures, Jarrow Colliery, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland.-

The Manchester specimen is imperfect, being broken
off about half an inch behind the anal fin; the dorsal fin
is also deficient, but its position is indicated by the subjacent
fin-supports. The pectoral, ventral, and anal fins are

present.

The measurements are as follows :—

The head shows scarcely any detail, though it is at
once apparent that its structure was typically Paleoniscoid,
with anteriorly placed orbit, oblique suspensorium, and wide
gape. Its length is contained 34 times in the total up to:
the tail pedicle, where the specimen is broken off.

Traquair, F.R.S.

IN THE MANCHESTER MUSEUM. 33

The rather deeply fusiform body is shown to have been
covered with rhombic scales, which were exceedingly small
in proportion to the size of the fish, those in the front of
the flank measuring only zy in. in height and breadth; only
feeble traces of a striated ornament are observable on them.
Some large median scales are seen in front of the dorsal fin.

The scales must also have been very thin, as_ they
have allowed the contour of the bones of the internal
skeleton to be tolerably distinctly indicated through them,
these indications being in the form of impressions ~ of
vertebral arches and spines, and of interspinous bones or
fin-supports. The skeleton as thus exhibited is typically
Palzeoniscoid.

The fins which are preserved are of moderate size, even
small for the size of the fish. The pectoral is not completely
shown, though enough is preserved to show that -it consisted
of numerous fine closely set rays, which were also closely
articulated, the principal rays being also jointed up to their
origins. The ventral fin is small and narrow, with fine rays
of a character similar to those of the pectoral. The anal
is triangular-acuminate, its hinder margin somewhat con-
cavely excavated, and consists likewise of numerous fine
closely set rays, whose transverse articulations are extremely
close. The dorsal fin is not preserved, but, judging from
the position of its supporting ossicles, it must have occupied
a position nearly opposite the interval between the ventral
and anal.

The specimen in the museum at Jermyn Street, London,
represents a somewhat larger fish, the length from the
front of the head to the posterior termination of the base of
the anal fin being 84 in. (about 20 cm.), and here it is
broken off, nearly at the very place where the same has
happened to the one at Owens College. However, the
dorsal fin is preserved, and shows a contour and structure
similar to those of the anal in both examples.

There can be no doubt that this fish is new to science
as a species; the only question remaining for consideration
is that of the genus to which it should be referred. The
Carboniferous genera to which it seems most closely allied
are Elonichthys and Acrolepis; but it is excluded from both
by the very small size and thinness of the scales, and more
especially from Acrolepis by the rays of the pectoral fin being
articulated to their origins.

So far as the smallness of the scales and the arrange-
ment of the fins is concerned, there is a very considerable
resemblance between the present fish and the early mesozoic
genus Myriolepis, as described originally by the late Sir Philip
Egerton,“ and more recently by Mr. A. Smith Woodward.t
But the condition, as to articulation, of the rays of the
pectoral fin of Myriolepis does not seem yet to be known,
and should its principal rays turn out not to be articulated
up to their origins, as in the present fish, there is little
doubt that a new genus must be constituted for the reception
of the latter.

Though it does strike one as slightly improbable that
the same genus of Palezoniscide should persist from Car-
boniferous to Triassic times, I feel the setting up of new
genera in this already most extensive family, without absolute
demonstration of its necessity, becoming more and more
distasteful. I therefore refer this interesting Irish Car-
boniferous Palaoniscid to the genus Myriolepis, under the
name of M. Hibernica; though it must be distinctly under-
stood that this reference is only provisional, and awaiting
confirmation, or the reverse, by the further development of
our knowledge of the type species of the genus.
