and Afrika, where Phillips’ illustration of ” Lieut. Watts’ shark” was also named 
Squalus Wattsii, but the latter name is a synonym of Orectolobus maculatus 
(Bonnaterre).

The Crested Port Jackson Shark is here figured from a specimen trawled 
by the “ Endeavour ” in 35-40 fathoms off Sandon Bluff, New South Wales. In 
comparison, there is shown the common species (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) , 
from a specimen caught at Manly, New r South Wales. These beautiful illustrations 
were drawn by the late A. R. McCulloch, and indicate the differences between 
the two better than any previously published descriptions or figures. 
Family HEMISCYLLIIDJE. 
Genus Brach.elurus Ogilby, 1907. 
BRACHZELURUS WADDI (Bloch and Schneider). 
Squalus waddi Bloch and Schneider, Svst. Ichth. 1801, p. 130, “New Holland ” (Latham). 
The Squalus waddi of Bloch and Schneider w r as briefly described : — 
“ Sq(ualus) corpore superius bruneo, nigro fasciato, ventre flavicante, capite 
depresso, obtusiusculo, cirrhis nasalibus 2, dorso unipinnato, pinna remota, caudali 
longa, cauda longitudine ceteri corporis. 
“ Habitat circa novam Hollandiam, Waddi appellatus. 
“ Picturam Dr. Latham communicavit. ,, 
The type painting was evidently prepared from a specimen collected near 
Sydney, New South Wales, by Dr. Latham, and the description most nearly 
applies to the “ Blind Shark,” which v'as later called Chiloscyllium , modestum by 
Gunther and C. furvum by Ramsay. 
I may note here that Dr. Latham, w T ho w r as a famous ornithologist, 
described our Saw Shark ( Pristiophorus cirratus) in the Trans. Linn. Soc. 
London (ii, 1794, p. 281, pi. xxvi, fig. 5 and pi. xxvii) from Port Jackson. 
This species was named Squalus anisodon by Lacepede (Hist. Nat. Poiss. 
iv, 1802, p. 680), and S. tentaculatus by Shaw (Gen. Zool. v, 2, 1804, p. 359.)
