specimens were not retained because of the limited space available for the preservation 
of our collections. 
GALEORHINIDiE.

Indian Key. A large one passed within a few feet of my boat off Indian Key. 
Eecognized by its very long caudal fin and spotted coloration. Called by my i^ilot 
“leopard-shark.”

I saw several in the harbor of Garden Key, back of Fort Jefferson, which answered the 
! description of Dr. Jordan in Proc. U. S. National Museum, 1884, p. 104.
