Note 30 — THE COUNT DE CAYLUS.

Requin, chien de mer, Landais. In Cotgrave, requien, who describes it as "a certaine ravenous, rough-skinned, and wide-mouthed fish, which is good meat." It is generally, however, the name given to the white-shark, and said by some writers to be derived from the word Requiem—a far-fetched allusion to the vast number of victims to its voracity.
