1853; not seen). 



104. Nardo's statement that his flumbeus "convenit perfect] Squalus glaucus Bloch si colorem excipetur et forman 

 rostri quae in exemplari nostro rotunda est" would apply equally to any round-snouted Carcharhinus. But the 

 fact that Nardo (Pesc. Publ. com. Nuov. Venez., 1853: 15) later referred his flumbeus to milberti justifies 

 Fowler's (Bull. Amer. Mus. nat. Hist., jo [1], 1936: 50) substitution of flumbeus for milberti as the correct 

 specific name, at least of the European form and of the American as well if the two prove to be identical.
