 has talis h. Agassiz, 1838.* 



Generic Characters. Carcharhinidae with anal fin little if any longer at base than 2nd 

 dorsal J without spiracles; midpoint of ist dorsal nearer to axil of pectoral than to origin 

 of pelvics; cusps of upper teeth regularly serrate, those of lowers serrate or smooth 5 back 

 with or without mid-dorsal ridge; caudal peduncle without lateral ridges, but with well 

 developed upper precaudal pit, the lower varying from well developed to hardly discern- 

 ible; 1st dorsal subtriangular, its posterior margin more or less deeply concave, its lower 

 posterior angle more or less prolonged as a free corner; 2nd dorsal and anal of approxi- 

 mately equal size and much smaller than ist dorsal; pelvics quadrilateral, their inner 



page of the same publication (Ann. N. Y. Lye, 7, 1862: 410) was the well knovni Carcharias (Prionodon) 

 milberti Muller and Henle, 184.1. This must necessarily stand as the type of the genus. See also footnote 82, 

 P- 368. 

 4.. The fossil shark's teeth to which L. Agassiz gave this name resemble the anterior lower teeth of Carcharias (Priono- 

 don) glyf/iis Muller and Henle, 1841, which falls in Carcharhinus as here defined; they are slender, erect, cylin- 

 drical near the base, and with cutting edge confined to the lanceolate, laterally-expanded tips. But we doubt the 

 propriety of reviving the name Glyfhis for any modern shark on the evidence of these two teeth alone. See also 

 footnote 5, p. 280.
