. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History), Geology. 158 PALAEONISCOID FISHES AND THE CHONDROSTEI without heads, three isolated maxillae and one dentary in the British Museum (Natural History) and the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh. Remarks. Apart from the shape of the maxilla and the large teeth, this species is very similar to the type 3mm Fig. 8. Pseudogonatodus macrolepis (Traquair). Anterior flank scale. Scale structure. The fine structure of the scale can be seen in Text-fig. 9. In most respects it is similar to that already described in Gonatodus punctatus (Agassiz).

The fine structure of the scale can be seen in Text-fig. 9. In most respects it is similar to that already described in Gonatodus punctatus (Agassiz). The arrangement of the canals in both the dentine and the bony lamellae is identical with those in Gonatodus punctatus. However, in the scale of Pseudogonatodus macrolepis there is a great concentration of fibres of Sharpey which was not observed.
