Palaeontologia Sinica (New Series C,Whole Number 137,No.14) Fossil Fishes from Locality 14 of Choukoutien

The fossil fishes described here have been excavated from locality 14 of Choukoutien in 1951 by the Laboratory of Vertebrate Palaeontology. In 1936 Prof. H. C. Chang described two species, Barbus brevicephalus Chang and Barbus Szechuanensis Tchang from the same locality. The former is an extinct species and the latter is living in Szechuan province. Through the latter excavation a considerable number of specimens have been collected by us. The study of the new material reveals that, in addition to the previsionally described two species, there are one additional species of the genus Barbus and one new species of the genus Matsya (M. hsichihi) were present in this fauna. And there are a number of teeth and heap of eggs.
