The following paper s provide lists, 

 keys, discussions, or guides to the 

 identification of chondrichthoid fishes 

 in the areas indicated in the titles. In 

 most cases, the papers have an even 

 wider range of applicability (in a geo- 

 graphical sense), as many elasmo- 

 branchs are far-ranging animals. Be- 

 cause the subject matter of these papers 

 is described so aptly in the titles, no 

 further annotation is given in this sec- 

 tion.
