Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus). Great White Shark. 

 Recorded by Hussakof, later by Nichols, from Monmouth County. 

 Several bathers (Charles Epting Vansant at Beach Haven, Charles Bruder 

 at Sea Girt, Lester Stillwell and Stanley Fisher at Matawan) were said 

 to have perished from attacks by large sharks, likely this species, during 

 the summer of 1916.

 ago in Delaware Bay from W. J. Bates, in the Academy, also the pair from 

 Beesley's Point.

The large example I reported as Carcharhinus obscurus in Rep. N. J. State Mus., 

 1907 (1908), p. 124, probably from near the mouth of Delaware Bay, is Eulamia 

 commersonii. The record should be omitted from the present list. 



8 The example I recorded from Perth Amboy as Eulamia obscurus is undoubtedly 

 the present species. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1910 (1911), p. 599.
