Extract

In his “Tableau générale des Poissons Fossiles,” published in 1844, and appended to the first volume of his great work, Agassiz enumerates five species of his Carboniferous selachian genus Cochliodus, of which he only described one, the well-known C. contortus; the others, of which the names only were then published, being C. magnus, C. acutus, C. oblongus, and C. strtatus.

page 343 note 1 In placing the long or obtusely angulated margin of the supposed “posterior” tooth (b of our specimen) outwards, Mr. Davis apparently follows M‘Coy’s description. But in describing the supposed “middle” tooth (a) M‘Coy calls its long margin “inner,” and though Mr. Davis quotes this description verbatim, he, nevertheless, with some inconsistency places the long margin in exactly the reverse position, namely, external.

page 344 note 1 Note addedJuly 20th. A recent examination of the specimens of Helodus simplexin the British Museum has convinced me that these teeth are truly “Lophodont” in form, and consequently the genus Lophodus must be altogether abolished.
