. A description of the fossil fish remains of the Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene formations of New Jersey. Fishes, Fossil; Paleontology; Geology. ACTINOPTERI. 147 elongated, bean-shaped, slightly concave in front and convex behind, and slightly wider externally than internally. Length of tooth about 20 mm. (From Leidy.) The above paratype, figured by Leidy, differs from his type in not having small lateral teeth in at least one series each side of the median, and on one side traces of a second series. Formation and locality. Originally from the Cretaceous of Mississippi, but also known from Leidy's record of the above- described example from the greensand marl of Crosswicks in. Fig. 90.—Pycnodus phaseolus Hay. (Type, from Leidy.) Burlington County (J. H. Slack). This example was said to have been in the collection of the Academy, but I have not located it. [A marly clay, the Merchantville formation, outcrops at Crosswicks village, but no true marl beds occur within several miles of that place. The Navesink marl was formerly dug along Crosswicks Creek, south of Wain ford, and 6 or 7 miles above Crosswicks village. It is impossible to determine whether the specimen is referable to the Merchantville clay or to the Nave- sink marl, probably the latter, K.] Pycnodus bobustus Leidy. Pycnodus robustus Leidy, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1857, p. 168. Green- sand of New Jersey. Leidy, Rep. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., I, 1873, pp. 293, 350, PI. 37, figs. 18-19 (type). Tooth elongate, rather depressed, slightly convex anteriorly as viewed above, with either end very slightly tapering and rounded. Edges all rounded and like surface smooth. Viewed below.
