The shallow-shelf carbonates of the Lower Border group and equivalent strata of the Northumberland trough have yielded conodont elements belonging to 28 multielement species. Study of these cavusgnathid-dominated faunas highlights the need for major revision of the Cavusgnathidae. Cloghergnatus globenskii Austin is an ecophenotype of Taphrognathus varians Branson and Mehl; Cloghergnathus Austin is ajunior synonym of Taphrognathus Branson and Mehl, Capricornognathus Austin appears to be a junior synonym of Patrognathus Rhodes, Austin, and Druce. The appartuses of Cavusgnathus hudsoni (Metcalfe), Taphrognathus varians, Polygnathus mehli Thompson, and Apatognathus cuspidatus Varker are described for the first time. Patrognathus capricornis (Druce), Mestognathus beckmanni Bischoff, Polygnathus bischoffi Rhodes, Austin, and Druce, and "Apatognathus" sp. a are partially reconstructed. The assignment of C. hudsoni to Cavusgnathus extends the range of the genus into the Tournaisian Series in Britain.
