short, the branches very divergent, usually blunt and abbreviated. 
Anterior teeth large, triangular and relatively broad, the crown only 
gently curved outwards at the apex ; coronal edges of the lateral 
teeth gradually curving to the extremities of the base, the apex 
often bent slightly outwards h 
Lawlej has described 150 teeth of this species, found associated 
with cartilage and vertebrae in the Pliocene of Tuscany; and the 
s} noil} my given above is based upon the information thus obtained. 
It is almost impossible to distinguish many of the postero-lateral 
teeth from those of 0. clesorii and G. spcdlanzanii.

1 Some rare teeth (one from the “ Calcaire de Veteuil”), agreeing in every 
respect with this description, but characterized by the presence of a rudimentary 
lateral denticle, are named Otodus apicidatus , L. Agassiz, torn. cit. p. 275, 
pi. xxxii. figs. 32-35. A rudimentary denticle has already been noted in 
0. mantelli (p. 378, No. P. 1263), thus suggesting that Otodus apicidatus is a 
synonym of Oxyrhina hastalis.
