On 19 April 1974, a letter was received from Gerald L. Wood of Guinness Su- perlatives asking why the 37-foot ( m) white shark taken in New Brunswick in 1930 (Vladykov and McKenzie 1935) and other records above 21 feet had not been accepted as valid by Randall (1973). I replied that these lengths were ob- tained from fishermen without verification. No evidence in the form of jaws or teeth or photographs that accurately depict the length of these alleged enormous sharks was given. Mr. Wood was asked to pass on proof he might have of any.
