A new species of Antiarchi, Bothriolepis sinensis Chi (sp. nov.), was discovered from theUpper (?) Devonian purple shale of Nanmuchung, near Tiaomachien, southeast of the city ofChangsha in central Hunan. Besides a detailed pal?ontological description of the fish, discussionson its stratigraphical positien, and on the age of the fossil plants collected from beds eight metersbelow the Bothriolepis-bed are given. This is the first Devonian Antiarch definitely recordedfrom the continent of Asia (vide P.S. on p.71).
