Genus CROSSORHINUS, Milller & Henle. 
[Syst. Beschreib. Plagiostom. 1841, p. 21.] 
First dorsal fin behind the pelYic fins, and the second in adYance 
of the anal, which is very close to the caudal. Tail short. Head 
broad and flat, with lateral appendages of skin ; mouth wide, nearly 
terminal; eyes small: the spiracle a wide oblique slit, behind and 
below the eye. Teeth comparatively few and large, the middle 
portion of the anterior coronal face extending downwards as a pro¬ 
cess over the root. Anterior teeth long, slender, subulate; lateral 
teeth less elevated, tricuspid. 
Some of the teeth are scarcely distinguishable from those of 
Squatina , and no fossil examples have hitherto been recorded. 
A vertebra from the “ Gault ” (? Cambri dge Greensand) of Cam¬ 
bridge is supposed to belong to Crossorhinus by C. Hasse, Katiirl.

Genus CANTIOSCYLLIUM, nov. 
Syn. Scylliodus, L. Agassiz, Poiss. Foss. vol. iii. 1843, p. 377 (in part). 
Teeth robust, with a broad depressed root, flattened and scarcely 
divided into two radicles. Dental crown consisting of a single 
elevated principal cone, with one or two pairs of small lateral cones ; 
the anterior coronal face produced downwards and forwards 
mesially. Yertebrae large, deep and short in the abdominal region. 
The character of the dentition suggests affinities with Gingly- 
mostoma. Before any teeth had been exposed, however, the type 
specimen of the only known species had been theoretically associated 
with the remains of a distinct fish (>Scyllium antiquum , p. 340), to 
form a “ genus ” named Scylliodus.
