Text-figure 10. Teeth of the Port Jackson Shark, Heterodontus pMlipi. Whether the figure represents an upper or lower jaw is not stated, but apparently it is a lower jaw. After PhiUip, 1789, pi. feeing p. 283. Goodrich, 1909, Fig. 59a. One can readily imagine how powerful these jaws are when equipped with, the grinding teeth—set well back toward the angle of the jaws—and with the musculature necessary for crushing the shells of molluscs that form the principal food of this species of Heterodontus. Garman also (1913, Atlas, Fig. 4, pi. 47) has figured the jaws of Heterodontus pMUpi in lateral view, but in form so different from Goodrich's portrayal that one might think the two drawings were made from different species. Phillip's drawing (1789) of the teeth of the Port Jackson Shark is reproduced here as Text-figure 10. The author does not state whether this is an upper or a lower jaw, but upon comparison with, the figures of Striiver (1864), Maclay and Macleay (my Text-figure 11) and McCoy (my Text-figure 14) it appears to be a lower jaw.
