NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



On three rare Sharks found in Port Jackson, by William 

 Macleay. — A few days ago Mr. Masters purchased a fine female 

 adult specimen of Alopecias vulpes, 8 feet long ; a species of Shark 

 which is known in Europe under the names of The Fox and the 

 Thresher. I was aware that it had been previously seen in these 

 seas, and specimens have been occasionally caught on the New 

 Zealand Coast, but it seems to be extremely rare. The specimen 

 in question was shot I believe near the Heads of Port Jackson. 

 It was quite free from Entozoa or Upizoa, an unusual thing in 

 Sharks, and the ovaries contained no visible ova.
