It wasbrought in by the schooner MaryCabral and has since been reposingin w tub of water in Mr. Neal's loft.It is about five and one-half feetiong, with a round, snakelike body,surmounted for its whole length by@ fin eight inches in height. It hasan enormous tail, which. itis thoughtwould pive it almost any speed. Butits chief beauty is its mouth. Itwould kill a pie-eater with envy.The jaws are about seven incheslong and the extent to which themouth can be opened is limited ~onlyby the amount of room there isinwhich toopen it. There are threerows of teeth, the first being aboutan inch long, and different from anyteeth which any of the -fishermenhave ever seen. They are not saw-2dged, like a man-eating shark's, orpointed, like a sand sharkTs, but areflat aud blade-like, very sharp at thepoint, almost translucent and slight-ly flexible.The creature was taken on atrawl on Le Have Bank, and made adesperate fight. before it could be gotinto the dory.
