The paper describes in detail the arteries and veins of Mustelus antarcticus , comparing them with those of other elasmobranchs, and with the embryonic trunks of the vertebrata generally. As far as the author’s resources would allow, the synonymy of the principal vessels is given. The paper is illustrated by four quarto plates, and two diagrams in the text; the figures are, as a rule, made by combining the results of several dissections; the topographical relations of the chief vessels are shown in drawings of transverse sections of a frozen specimen.
