Abstract
(First paragraph) The fossil collection of the Misses Philpot of Lyme Regis consists of about 400 specimen mainly from the Lower Lias of that neighbourhood and was compiled during the first part t the nineteenth century, during which time it was studied by various prominent palaeontologists. On the death of the youngest sister, Elizabeth Philpot, the collection passed to nephew, John Philpot, and, in 1880, it was presented to Oxford University by his widow.
The list which follows contains only those specimens which have been documented research publications, although in the case of the fishes, many others bear the manuscript determination of Louis Agassiz.
All the specimens listed are from the Lower Lias and the locality is recorded as Lyme Regis, Dorset. No information accompanies the collection to help fix more detailed horizon or more precise locations.
The registration numbers quoted are those of the Oxford University Museum ("OUM' palaeontological collections. Type-specimens are marked: H for holotype, S for syntype, an L for lectotype. Where the specimen has been incorporated into a different species by a lat( worker, a letter in lighter type has been used to indicate the original status.
