Somewhat doubtfully placed in this genus is Hjihenodtu gahau- 
diamu, Pictet (Foss. Terr. Xcocom. Toirons, pt. iii. (1858), p. 50, 
pi. vii. figs. 9-11), from the Xcocomian of Voirons, apparently 
figured under the name of <S. salcniintis by P. Gervais (Zool. et Pal. 
Fran^., 2nd. edit. p. 524, pi. Ixxvi. figs. 9, 10) ; and Ltiruna {Sjtheno- 
dus) plana, Agassiz (Poiss. Foss. vol. iii. 1843, p. 298, pi. xxxvii. 
figs. 30-32), from the Cenomanian of Switzerland, is probably a true 
Lamna.
