The pancreas consists of 2 large lobes, of which each is sub- 
divided into an upper and lower portion, so that it really is in 4 
divisions, of which the two hinder portions are lighter in colour 
than the front ones. On the right side it forms, first, a short light 
coloured lobe, about 80 mm. long and 35 mm. broad. Anteriorly, it is 
almost entirely separated from a curved front portion, which is of 
darker hue than the hinder part. Posteriorly there also exists 
a lower portion, of a length of about 100 mm.; above this lies a 
darker coloured portion whose length is about 48 mm., which adjoins 
the hinder lighter part, and is connected with it. 
The liver was enormous, and weighed 4250 grammes.! It con- 
sisted of two parallel and symmetrical lobes, the symphysis being 
140 mm., in length. Its total length was 950 mm., being thus nearly 
one half of the total length of the body. 
The lobes were of.an equal thickness, and without side lobes 
except towards the end, where there was a small side flap. The 
height of each lobe was 100 mm., and the thickness 55 mm.; their 
upper (dorsal) edge was somewhat flattened, almost lamellar, while 
the lower (ventral) edge was smooth and. rounded. 
The oviducts were extremely long, both being of about equal 
length. Towards their upper ends each expands to a uterus-like 
sack, of which the right is somewhat larger than the left; both con- 
tained immature eggs. Below this expansion the oviducts are quite 
narrow, but subsequently expand. slightly downwards towards the 
abdominal pores. 
The total length of each oviduct is about 900 mm. 
The right ,uterus* was 240 mm. in length, and contained 10 large 
eggs, about the size of the yolk of a small hen’s egg, but some varied 
in size. There were, besides, about 30 lesser yolks of the size of 
large and small peas, as well as a few bigger ones about the size of 
the yolk of a pigeon’s egg. 
The length of the left uterus was 220 mm., and it contained 5 
large yolks, and about 20 small ones. 
As previously mentioned (p. 7) it has been proved that Chlamy- 
doselachus is viviparous. 
1 Weighed two and a half months after the death of the fish, so that probably 
it had lost good deal of oil by that time.
