After DanieL 1934, Fig. 152. it remained for Allis () to re-examine the same species and to expose so many other glaring errors in the pre\dous work that Ayers's description has been entirely discredited. These paragraphs furnish the most striking case encountered in this investigation illustrating the danger of (l) erecting specific types from the dissection of a single specimen; (2) not making adequate allowance for a possible high degree of variability; and (3) attempting to establish adult homologies without thorough embryological preparation. The bifurcation of the dorsal aorta anteriorly, as portrayed in Text-figures 107, 108 and 109, of Chlamydoselachus, Heptanchus and Squalus respectively, is a feature common to all elasmobranchs, so far as From an embryological point of vie
