Abstract
A list is given of all specimens of Semionotus capensis Smith Woodward in South
African collections. In addition a recent discovery of fish comparable with S. capensis in
the Molteno Beds is recorded. This is the first true record of vertebrate life in this stage of
the Stormberg Series, and if the identification can be confirmed, extends the record of
this species in South Africa quite considerably.
