Note: Some sharks, as the basking shark and the whale shark,

exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly

related genera. They have several rows of large sharp
teeth with serrated edges, as the great white shark
(Carcharodon carcharias, or Rondeleti) of tropical

variety, or the young, of C. carcharias. The dusky
