URINOGENITAL ORGANS 



cartilage is usually produced into a sharp calcified style, near which 

 terminal pieces are developed (Fig. 88). 



Among the Selachii, Huber distinguishes three main types of 

 modification of some importance in classification. Type A : with

a prominent hard terminal style, piercing the skin ; a tegumentary 

 fold partially covering the groove ; and the whole internal cavity 

 glandular. Type B differs from the former in having the tegu- 

 mentary fold inside, the overlapping edges of the main cartilage 

 more developed and turned in, and the terminal cartilages reaching 

 to or beyond the end of the style. Type C : the gland is 

 specialised and of tubular structure ; and one, two, or three of the 

 accessory pieces form flattened sheathing-plates (Fig. 89). Type A
