. A description of the fossil fish remains of the Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene formations of New Jersey. Fishes, Fossil; Paleontology; Geology. 9o CRETACEOUS AND TERTIARY FISH. The above-described fragment is the only example I have seen from our limits, and seems to agree with Myiiobatis magister, which species has not been recorded before from New Jersey. It is evidently a lower dental plate. Eastman has pertinent remarks concerning this Formation and locality. One example from Vincentown (T. M. Bryan) from the marl [Manasquan, K.]. Myiiobatis jugosus (Leidy). Myliobates jugosus
