The nasal valves are not confluent, separated from each other by 

 a considerable interspace ; they are slightly folded, but without pro- 

 minent cirrus. Lower jaw with a short lateral labial fold com- 

 mencing from the angle of the mouth ; upper jaw without trace of 

 a labial fold. Teeth very small, those of the lower jaw narrow, 

 without lateral cusp. Ventral fin with the posterior portion sub- 

 truncated. End of the anal fin below the middle of the dorsal, the 

 length of its base being rather more than its distance from the cau- 

 dal. Upper parts with rounded brown spots, some of which are 

 nearly as large as the eye.

Scyllium, sp., Filippi, Rev. ct Mag. Zool. 185:5, pp. 109,280; 

 ScgUium acanlJionotnm, Filippi, Mem. Ac. Sc. Torin. xviii. 1859, 

 p. 19;3, fig. 2; Dumcril, Elasmobr. p. 324. This name has been 

 given to a fretal example from the Mediterranean, with a double 

 series of spines along the back. Such spines are found in the em- 

 bryos of a number of species of Sci/tUmn, Chinuvra, &c. The spe- 

 cimen examined by Filippi was either a Sc. stellare or canicula.
