Sgualus acanthias, L. 
Of somewhat uncertain occurrence and few in number in Passamaquoddy 
bay, not being found every year. Appears fron the end of July to the end of 
August (by the first of July in the Bay of Fundy) and leaves by the end of 
October. Only adults are seen. The females contain eggs in an early stage, 
or well developed young with the yolk not yet all absorbed, but no intermediate 
stages. More abundant in the Bay of Fundy, particularly on the east coast. 
Observed in Minas channel, at Harbourville, Kings County, in St. Mary bay, 
and at Port Maitland, Yarmouth County. As none smaller than a length of 
56 cm. has been observed, there is nothing to indicate that it breeds in the 
Bay of Fundy. Taken on long lines and in gill nets. 
Somniosus microcephalus (Bl. & Schn.) . 
Kendall (1908, p. 10) has reported this species from Eastport. Dr. Cox | 
obtained two specimens in 1915, one from a weir in Passamaquoddy bay, and 
the other from long lines set in the North channel off Campobello island during 
the first week in June. An immigrant from the north.
