The smallest of these specimens shows a much narrower disk than the others, 

 its breadth equal to the distance from the snout to the last of the base of the dorsal 

 fin and an absence of small prickles between the larger spinules of the disk. The 

 larger two show these prickles and a broader disk, equal to the distance from the 

 snout to the pectoral angle. These, however, on comparison with other specimens 

 are shown to be extremes of variations.
