The teeth of fish vary mote greatly than those of any other known crea- tures. Their teeth are not divided nto incisors canines, and molars, as in natuninals, bun almost every different kind of fish has differently - hayed teeth. Sharks for instance, have several rows of teeth, all ex- reniely sharp pointed. The front ow stands up erect, lent those be- ind are more or less recumbent. There is never any difficulty in iden- ifying a shark's tooth. Rays, orekates, have their mouths lined with a sort of pavement of bony matter, quite unmistakable. The wolf -fish has pointed teeth in the front of its jaws, and strong brushing teeth in the roof of the mouth. •. Mist fish have a great nurtiber of teeth„, The dolphin; !or instance, possesses two hundred, but there are •others --like the sturgeon- hich have no teeth at all.
