Phofograph Courfesy United Sfates Public Health Service Hospital. mhis muscle, severing a nerve, thus impairing his ability to manipulate his right foot. Lacerations also were present on the ventral side of his right calf, and on the dorsal side and inner portion of his left calf. Three large lacerations also were inflicted to the ventral surface of his left thigh. First aid treatment, both on tlie boat and in the helicopter, was im- mediately concerned with controlling the profuse bleeding. Rochette, upon arrival at the hospital was alert, oriented, and not in shock. He was taken immediately to the operating room. During the operation, Avhich lasted 4 hours and entailed the services of seven surgeons, he re- ceived three units of whole blood. He returned to the operating room on the fourth postoperative day for secondary closures of his lacera- tions. Prior to this second operative procedure he received two units of whole blood. He has since completely recovered. IDENTIFICATION OF SHARK RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACK During surgery, a mm tooth fragment (Figure 2) was extracted from the injury on the dorsal side of his upper thigh. Since the tooth is triangular with serrated edges it is quite evident that it came from a great white shark. W. I. Follett, California Academy of Sciences sub- stantiated my identification. Although the victim and the witnesses agreed that the shark appeared to be between 20 and 25 feet long, it is.
