Herbst obtained his specimens from Pastor Chemnitz, of Copenhagen, who in turn had them from the Faroe Islands with the information that they had been fastened to the tail of a "Hemorfische," which was in all probability Lamna cornubica. The Zoological Museum of the university at Copenhagen possesses several specimens of this species from the Faroe Islands which were taken from Lamna cornubica. The Physiological Museum of the same university possesses another particularly fine lot of females of D. producta fastened tightly to a piece of shark's skin. This piece of skin looks as if it came from Scymnus glacialis, and it has been so recorded by one or two investigators, but the scales on it show that it really belonged to a Lamna cornubica. Such a shark was captured and kept on exhibition for some time, and then purchased by the University Museum.
