Later study also demonstrated the relation of these organs to the nervous system. It has been shown by G. H. Parker (1904) that a shark which has been de- prived of hearing and sight responds to wave movement, like that produced by throwing a stone into the water, so long as the nerves to the lateral line are intact. When these nerves are cut, however, no further response is given. Ampullary Organs The ampullary sense organs, as in Heptanchus, are confined to the head and are generally arranged in four or five groups. These are, in Squalus sucMii (fig. 241), the supraophthalmic (soa.), the inner (iha.) and outer buccal (oha.) groups; and the mandibular just behind the mandible; and the hyoid
