Extract

In 1994 an extensive collection of mainly Carboniferous conodonts was transferred from the Department of Geology, University of Southampton, England, to The Natural History Museum, London, on the retirement of R. L. Austin. The collection consists of approximately 2,000 slides of type/figured specimens and picked residue slides, which complement material previously deposited at The Natural History Museum, London. The following is a very brief resumé of figured material in the collection.
