. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Geology Supplement. FOSSIL AND RECENT 163 stt. com stt. pel 1-3 cor Fig. 82. Albula vulpes (Linnaeus). Pectoral girdle of right side in medial view. Composite of several specimens. A small gular plate is seen in some specimens (Nybelin 1960), notably the larger individuals. Unlike the gular plate of other albuloids that of A. vulpes is vertical. Paired fins. All bones composing the pectoral girdle (Text-fig. 82) are stout. The main body of the post-temporal is longer than wide and is produced into three pro- cesses, an epiotic (dorsal) limb, an intercalar (ventral) limb and a third limb which projects into the lumen of the post-temporal fossa and is embedded within epaxial musculature. The supracleithrum is the usual elongate element. Many features of the ventral parts of the pectoral girdle are similar to those of Pterothrissus. The cleithrum is broad above the fin insertion but becomes narrow antero-ventrally ; the coracoid does not extend to the tip of the cleithrum ; an interosseous foramen is absent (in Pterothrissus it is very small) ; the scapula fails.
