71. Much of the confusion in shark nomenclature comes from uncertainty as to actual identity of Lacepede's Squale 

 requin. The measurements on pag'e 184 might apply to longimanus ; but the account of the first dorsal, and its 

 representation in the illustration as only a little rounded at apex, do not. Most of the description is devoted to a 

 general account of the larger carcharhinids, in general, perhaps combined with Carcharodon. 



72. We cannot find whether or not this plate was ever published.
