A tooth of an undetermined species, from the Miocene of Naples, 
is also figured by 0. G. Costa, Paleont. Begno Napoli,pt.ii.( 1854-56), 
pi. vii. fig. 62 ( Corax appencliculatus). 
Some small teeth from the Planerkalk of Bohemia originally de¬ 
scribed under the name of Oxyrhina heteromorpJia by A. E. Beuss 
(Yerstein. bohm. Kreideform. pt. i. 1845, p. 7, pi. iii. figs. 14-16) 
were subsequently assigned by the same author {op. cit. pt. ii. 1846, 
p. 100, pi. xxiv. figs. 23, 24, pi. xlii. figs. 10-12) to Scoliodon, with 
the name of S. priscus. By later authors, however, these teeth are 
ascribed to Oxyrhina angustidens , Beuss (see p. 380J, 
Vertebrae from the Molasse of Switzerland and Wiirtemberg are 
also described as referable to this subgenus by C. Hasse, Natiirl. 
Syst. Elasmobr., Besond. Theil, p. 270, pi. xxxix. fig. 5. 
A shark from the Upper Eocene of Monte Bolc-a, near Verona, 
having a dentition very suggestive of that of Scoliodon , is made the 
type of a distinct genus, Protogalens, B. Molin (Sitzungsb. math.- 
nat. Cl. k. Akad. V iss. Wien, vol. xl. 1860, p. 585), subsequently 
named Alopiopsis P. Lioy (Atti Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat. vol. viii. 1865, 
p. 403). The type species is the following :—
