*T^ HIS fpecies was taken on one of the Orkney 

 **" Ifles, a hundred and two of different flzes 

 being caft afhore at one time, the largeft twenty- 

 four feet in length. 



The head was round, the opening of the mouth 

 fmall : Sibhald fays it had no fpout hole, but only 

 noftrils. We rather think, that the former being 

 placed at the extremity of the nofe was miftaken 

 by him for the latter. 



The teeth we have in our cabinet of this fpecies 

 (plate iii. No. 4.) are an inch and three-quarters 

 long, and in the largeft part, of the thicknefs of 

 one's thumb. The top is quite flat, and marked 

 with concentric lines •, the bottom is more {lender 

 than the top, and pierced with a fmall orifice. 



The back fin was wanting ♦, inftead was a rough 

 fpace.
