178 LIST OF THE AUSTRALIAN PAL^ICHTHYESy 



LIST OF THE AUSTRALIAN PAL^IC HTHYES, 



WITH NOTES ON THEIR SZNONYMY 



AND DISTRIBUTION.

Part ii. 



In this part are contained the remaining families of the 

 Selachoidean Palceichthyes, namely, the Notidanidce^ ScylliidcBy 

 Eeterodontidce, Spinacidce, SquatinidcE, and PristiojyJioridcE : of 

 these twenty-five species are enumerated, seven of which, ^.e., 

 Scylliorhinus analis, Ginglymostoma concolor, Stegostoma tigrinum, 

 Farascyllium collare, Ghiloscyllium inmctatum, Crossorhinus dasy- 

 pogon, and Echinorhinus spinosus, have been added to the Aus- 

 tralian fauna since 1884. Two of these (S. analis and P. collare) 

 have been described since that date in the Proceedings of this 

 Society, the former in Vol. x. p. 445, the latter in Vol. iii. (2) 

 p. 1310; for the record of E. sjoinosus we are indebted to Prof. 

 McCoy, who has done so much to elucidate the zoology of Victoria 

 both fossil and recent ; while that of 0. pimctatinn is due to Dr. 

 Klunzinger ; the remaining three, being well-known species from 

 the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, were certain 

 to have been recorded sooner or later from our northern shores, as 

 without doubt will many other species when our long and varied 

 sea-board has been systematically examined. 



In the present part the only points on which I feel any doubt 

 concern (1) the correctness of the identification of Mr. Zietz's 

 South Australian Crossorhinus with the C. tentaculatus of Dr. 

 Peters, but in the present state of our knowledge of both forms 

 it is perhaps better to follow Mr. Zietz, who, in a letter received
