Abstract
The extinct cartilaginous fishes represented in ‘mountain lime-stone’ and similary aged carboniferous formations by detached teeth, or dental masses adapted for crushing, have been referred to the Cestraciont family; and, so far as I know, have now no nearer living representative, in the class of fishes, than the Port Jackson shark (Cestracion Philippi.)
