Abstract
THE group of Ganoidei Chondrostei has hitherto been regarded as one developed during the latest period of the history of the earth. Its structure is so different from that of other classes of fish that its relationship with them cannot be easily detected. The zootomic and embryological works of the last ten years, and especially the works of Zalensky in Odessa, Parker in London, Davidoff in Munich, and van der Wighe in Holland, have brought together many important ficts as to the organization and development of these interesting animals, but the information provided by these writers is either fragmentary or not full enough, and long study and labour will be required before it can be satisfactorily summed up and completed.
