Abstract
The creature which forms the subject of the present communication is the same as that which was described as Asterolepis by Hugh Miller in his “Footprints of the Creator,” and consequently its remains are at present better known to British geologists and palæontologists under that name. Why, then, alter a name which we have used so long? is a question likely to be asked by those who have not critically studied the complicated mesh in which the synonymy of the name “Asterolepis” is entangled.
