A Rare Fish.

Biologists are interested In a recent description of a shark which Is of so rare a nature and possesses such marked peculiarities as to occasion much comment. It Is a reanimated Devonian fossil, with tricuspid teeth, and has been given the name of Chlamydoselachus angulneus. Previous to the year 1899 but thirteen specimens of the fish had been secured by naturalist*, and all came from Japanese waters. In that year, however, a small specimen was captured by the Prince of Monaco off Madeira, while this recently discovered specimen was found near the coast of Norway.
