Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoölogy, at Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass . d in the consoHdation, the articulation of the erectile spine, and the condition of the notochord,without rings in Callorhynchus, fig. 1, with rings in Chimaera, fig. 2. Figures 3-10 are from among thelowest to the highest of the Platosomia. They indicate the gradually increasing number of the vertebraetaking part in the anchylosis, with the decrease in size and withdrawal backward of tlie lateral wings orstays so prominent in the Pristidae, fig. 3, the scapulary attachment of the shoulder girdle superior inPristidae and Rhinobatidae, fig. 3-4, inferior in the Raiae, fig. 5, and a lateral articulation in Dasybatidae,fig. 7, Potamotrygonidae, fig. 6, , fig. 8, Rhinopteridae, fig. 10 and the Mobulidae. Thedifferent styles of attachment of the .shoulder girdle apparently divide the Platosomia into groups. Aconsiderable increase in irregularity of vertebrae and processes obtains as the most specializedgenera are approached. Mem. Mus. Comf 7oot. Vol, 36. PLAGtOSTOMES. PLATE 55. E. N.
