Abstract
The Cyclostomes, comprising the lampreys and the hagfishes or myxinoids, are a group of eel-like aquatic vertebrates, not widely known outside zoological circles, for whom they have a special interest as the sole survivors of an extinct, but once flourishing, group of jawless or agnathan Palaeozoic ‘fishes’ known as the Ostracoderms.
