On the 19th August, 1889, we had the pleasure of bringing under the notice of the members of this Society a new Ganoid Fish, from the Knocklofty sandstones, and named Acrolepis Hamiltoni, in honour of our worthy President, Sir Robert Hamilton. We have now the honour of giving a full description of a second species of the sa1ne genus recently discovered in a sandstone formation near Tinder-Box Bay, deemed to be nearly of the same geological horizon as the sandstones of Knocklofty.
Includes description of species.
