NOTICE.

1.

For example, one of the most persistent as sentions. is that a shark will not venture into water so shallow that its underfin will touch the bottom while its body is covered. Our scientific observers will not affirm this.

Indeed, Mr. Waite, of the Sydney Muscum, states that sharks lallow shoals of salmon very close to the shore, and are not easily daunted when hungry. The popular idea also is that shark turns on its back to esize its prey, and ¦ that while it is undergoing the operation escape from its maw is rendered possible. A shark, however, only turns to accommodate itsell

to the olject it would swallow. This is on account of the mouth being usually situated under the surface of the head,, and often some distance behind the snopt, But the turn of a shark is as a flash in its rapidity. To be in the water where a shark is, provided it is giving pursuit, is to be in a bad way. The fastest human swimmer is as a cork in the water compared with the shark. That Gab is built for speed. The shape of a torpedo, it shoots through the water faster than the fastest tur. bine stranier.

The external characteristics of a shark, strik- ing as they are, and of such configuration as to lead to its immediate recognition, are not more peculiar than the internal. Although large and exceedingly powerful, sharks do not possess bones. The entire skeleton is composed of cartilage. The skull is not composed of separ ate portions, as is the case with the higher animals. Sometimes sharks possess spines, and others apparently bony structures, but they are not true bone, and are not connected with the skeleton; they are simply embedded in the flesh.

MAN-EATING SHARKS.

The most dangerous sharks are undoubtedly the groynurse, the white pointer, the blue pointer, and the tiger shark. But it is not wise to be too nicely discriminative as to any of them. When the dark outline against wave shows one of 1' e fish coasting along the shore it is well to give the spot a wide berth, The point that agitates my minds is whether the mere going where dauger is at all is justif ed. It was painted out to n Sydney "Evening News" reporter today by an authority that sharks can see a considerable distance in the water. They have the tirap, so to speak, and It is their business to be alert. They are out for a meal. Once, too, a shark tastes terrestrial food, his appetite for occar fate is vitiated. His in

headed sharks are harmless and inoffensive.

It has been often stated that the hammer.

-Thai is, however, not correct of larga examples. The Australian writer, who remarks in their harmless nature, unintenti mally explams his- position by giving measurements of specimens "not one-third of the size attained by the species, The commonest, which grow to the length of 14 or 15ft, is, when ndült, bath formidable and voracius.

The Port Jackson shark is a most interesting fish, though quite harmless. It lives on ten eggs and shell fish, for the reducing of which its peculiar pavement-like teeth are well adapted.

WONDERFUL EGGS,

Mr. Grant Allen, the well-known writer, hai written:-"That well-known frequenter of Aus- tralian ha,bours, the Port Jackson shark, lays a pear-shaped egg, with a sort of spiral stair- case of leathery ridges winding round it not side, Chinese pagoda-wise, so that even if you bite it (I speak in the person of a piedaceous fish) it eludes your teeth, and goes dodging off, screw fashion, into the water beyond. There is no pelting at this elusive body anywhere, When you think you have it, it always wriggles. away sideways, and refuses to give any hold for the jaws or palate; in fact, a more slippery or guileful egg was never yet devised by Nature's unconscimus ingenuity,

Sharks are sometimes produced by eggs, which are large and occasionally of strange shape. More frequently, however, the eggs are hatched within the body of the parent, and the young born alive. There are many excellent specimens to be seen at the Sydney Museum; College-street, and Mr. Waite states that as many as 39 young have been taken from à single hammer-headed shark, each mea-uring about 19io in length. From a Tope shark as many as 5z young have been removed alive. The lattor share is not one of the variety that need be dreaded.

substance is diges ible or otherwise. This circumstance is made irequent use of in killing sharks. Mr. Waite, of the Sydeny Museum, tells a story of how once, off Colombo, when the sharks were thick in the water, a steamer's fireman heated a brick red hot, wrapped it up in con-conducting material, and lowered it into the ocean. A voracious shark gulped it down immediately. It was not for some few moments that a great disturbance occurred in the water. It was lashed to foam by the victim of greed.

THE GRAYNURSE

is a large and one of the most ferocious species of shark and has a wide distribution in the. southern hemisphere. It is found at the Cape of Good Hope, on the South American coast, and, as is only too well known, round the Aus tralian continent. Its colour is dirty yellow above, and paler beneath. Its mouth is very wide, and the teeth, which are large, are not serrated, but comparatively slender and awl-like, with one or two small projections at the base. The fourth and fifth teeth in the upper jaw are very much smaller, and are a feature of this shark, So far as the Commonwealth is con- cerned, the shark is better known on the Victorian waters than off 'our coast. But that it is by no means a stranger can be gathered from the fact that there is a picture in the [175 museum showing Captain Milton and a group of bostmen at Bateman's Bay with to huge specimens of the greyourse hauled up on the beach as the result of a day's harpooning.
