remarks: Ref.: HOWE, J.C. & SPRINGER, V.G. (1993) Catalog of type specimens of recent fishes in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 5: Sharks (Chondrichthyes: Selachii). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, (540): i-iii, 1-19: These three small specimens were removed from USNM 125094 and cataloged as USNM 206019 in 1971, presumably because someone referred to C.H. Gilbert's original description and assumed that the smaller specimens were collected at station 3007.
