Later, generic differences were noticed, and it was separated as a distinct group by Castelnau in 1876, under the name of Neoceratodus (later called Epicera- todus by Teller). Neoceratodus forsteri and a second species,Neoceratodus mio- lepis, have been since very fully dis- cussed by Dr. Giinther and Dr. Krefft. ..*^fgs;**v-.
