jS'ote ox Caecharias hemiodon as A>f Australian Species, 



BY A. ZlETZ. 



An interesting addition to our knowledge o£ the local fauna 

 lias been made by the capture of an undoubted specimen of the 

 above-named shark. CarcJiariaa liemiodon is mentioned by Hon. 

 Macleay in the Proc. Liu. Society, jN'ew S. AVales, vol. IL, as 

 l)eiDg an Australian species, but in his descriptive catalogue of 

 Australian fishes he refers the specimens thus named to 

 Carcliarias melanopferus, Mull, and Henle. The above species 

 resemble each other very much, but according to the descrip- 

 tions in Gunther's catalogue of fishes in the British Museum, 

 Carcliarias melanopferus belongs to the section Prionidae with 

 the base as well as the cusp of some or all the teeth serrated. 

 In the section Hypoprion, to which our fish belongs, the upper 

 teeth are denticulated on the base only. Lower teeth without 

 denticulation. There is only one specimen of this species in 

 the Museum collection ; it is 17 in. in length, and was obtained 

 from the Port Adelaide Creek, this being the first observation 

 of its occurrence in Australian waters.
