I do not find in either specimen the ""five or six rather indefinite transverse bands" mentioned by Garman (1913). The spots on the dorsal surface are distributed at fairly regular intervals in such fashion that when in- distinct they might suggest broad transverse stripes; but such stripes would be more numerous than those described by Text-figure 17. Jaws and teeth of Heterodontus quoyi, in lateral view. The original is labelled Centracion quoyi. After Garman, 1913, Atlas, Fig. 1, pi. 47. Jaws axd Teeth.—In Carman's figure (1913j showing the jaws of H. quoyi in lateral view (my Text-figure 17) the upper jaw projects anteriorly beyond the lower jaw, as in his figure of the jaws of H. phillipi drawn from the same aspect. Both jaws appear very strong. Some samples of both anterior and posterior teeth of H. quoyi are described and sketched by Freminville; but Garman (1913, Atlas, Figs. 1 to 3, pi. 47) portrays the entire dentition of both jaws. Authors agree that the anterior teeth are sharp and tricuspid, with the middle cusp prominent. Garman records that the ''molar" teeth are elongate, narrow, each with a longitudinal ridge or keel. In Carman's drawings the upper jaw has 11 transverse rows of anterior (cuspidate) teeth and 8 rows (4 on each sidej of posterior (grinding) teeth, making 19 rows in all. The lower jaw has 9 rows of anterior (cuspidate) teeth and 6 rows (3 on each side) of posterior (grinding) teeth, making 15 rows in all. In.
