P. Whitley del. Squalicorax, gen. nov. Orthotype, Galeus pristodontus Agassiz, 1835. A new name is necessary for the shark called Corax, because Mr. T. Iredale informs me that Agassiz' name is preoccupied by Corax Ledru (Voy. Teneriffe, ii., 1810, p. 204), a generic name for the Raven. The orthotype of my new genus is Galeus pristodontus Agassiz (Poiss. Foss., Feuilleton, 54, 1835) = Corax pristodontus Agassiz (Poiss. Foss., iii., 1843, p. 224) = Squalicorax pristodontus.
