In neither are they widely separated, so that they are from the front part of the lateral dentition. The single lower posterior tooth (Text fig. 47), like the other three lower teeth, is from the right ramus. It is much curved towards the rear and has no anterior denticles but four or five graduated denticles behind, the largest being the Hrmipristis ivyattJurhami, Figs. 40-43. Upper lateral teeth. 40.

As seen m aboral view, it resembles the teeth of Ga/eus {Galeo- rhinus) and Galeocerdo, but shows its origm ui the pinched inner protuberant face. It is to all intents and purposes identical with corresponding teeth in the jaw of the living in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) collection. Incidentally the teeth of this last specimen differ from those in the type jaws figured by Leriche in that there are fewer rows, two on each side, of the small.
