Articulated thelodonts, Loganellia scotica (Traquair), Shielia gen.n. taiti (Stetson), Lanarkia horrida Traquair, L. spinulosa Traquair and Turinia pagei (Powrie) from the Silurian and Devonian of Scotland are re-described. A new species, Lanarkia lanceolata sp.n. from the Wenlock, Lower Silurian, is established. For each species, diagnosis is specified, varieties of scale morphology are given, the branchial area is described and body morphology is detailed. A paired ventral fin in Shielia gen.n. taiti and Lanarkia lanceolata sp.n. has been discovered. A new reconstruction of Loganellia and Shielia, and diagnosis for thelodonts from Scotland are given. The locality list of Scottish agnathans is reviewed and the biostratigraphical distribution discussed.

Acanthodians are represented by numerous young and poorly cranially ossified Acanthodes ovensi White, the earliest known acanthodid. Study of the small A. ovensi together with the type series shows that squamation begins posteriorly, and spreads anteriorly along an initially triangular front, as in A. bridgei Zidek. Gyracanthus sp. occurs at several horizons in the sequence. The coelacanth remains include the first articulated specimen known from Foulden, but preservation only allows an assignment to cf. Rhabdoderma. Although these taxa are distinctive, resemblances to other taxa occur only in generalised features. Hence, unlike the Foulden actinopterygian fish, the acanthodians and coelacanths cannot be used to suggest closer affinities with any other fish of this age, on which information is sparse.
