This species does not appear to have ever been recorded from New Jersey before. Formation and locality. A plentiful species in the Maryland Miocene, and the following, except the last, are probably from the upper Cretaceous: Monmouth County 2 (C. C. Abbott), 3 (W. Cleburne), 2 (P. D. Knieskern) and 1 without donor; Bur- lington County 3 (T. A. Conrad) ; Vincentowri [Manasquan marl, K.] 3 (T. M. Bryan) ; Allowaystown in Salem County 2 (H. C. Yarrow). Galeocerdo eatidens Agassiz. Teeth very broad, well compressed, low, and rather thin. Coronal surfaces low, well compressed, smooth, moderately broad, pointed, outer somewhat depressed or flattened and not. Fig. 33.—Galeocerdo latidens Agassiz. Allowaystown (Yarrow). quite so convex as inner. Apex usually well deflected to one side, and longer coronal margin usually rather evenly convex. Cut- ting-edges finely serrated. Margin below notch with graduated serrae, those at notch largest, generally several rather conspicu- ous. No basal cusps. Root very broad in proportion, well com- pressed, not very deep, outer surface a little concave and inner a little convex. Length 18 mm. This species closely resembles Galeocerdo aduncus and may be distinguished with difficulty. The only conspicuous character.
