48. References for "limbatus" for the western Pacific and Indian Oceans are omitted because of uncertainty whether 

 the shark (or sharks) to which they refer are identical with limbatus of the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. 



49. The name cucuri dates back to Marcgrave (in Piso de Medicina brasiliense, et G. Marcgravius Hist, rerum 

 natur. Brasiliae, 1648: 164). But Castelnau's revival of it for the shark in question to replace limbatus, Muller 

 and Henle, was not a fortunate one, even apart from nomenclatural grounds, for Marcgrave's original account 

 "pinnae omnes cinereae, exceptis parvulibus in inferiori corpore, quae albae" does not suggest this species. 



50. Perezii was classed by Garman (Mem. Harv. Mus. comp. Zool., 36, 1913 : 138) as a synonym of remotus. Actu- 

 ally, however, its color as well as the original illustrations of its teeth more nearly resemble limbatus, its pec- 

 torals being described as with black tips and its sides with a dark band. A photograph of Poey's unpublished 

 drawing of an adult female shows nothing to separate it from limbatus.
