The Bordered Ray, as it is called from the broad 

 dark marginal edge of its pectoral fins, has been taken at 

 Liverpool, Brighton, and Weymouth ; it has also been 

 taken at Dieppe, and noticed by M. Noel and Lacepede. 

 It is a well-known species in the Mediterranean, described 

 bv M. de Blainvillc, by the Prince of Musignano, and M. 

 Risso. But little is known of its habits, and it does not 

 attain a large size. M. Risso states that the flesh is con- 

 sidered pretty good. 



I avail myself, by permission, of Mr. Jenyns'' description
