EAGLE RAY. 



447 



sent preserved in their museum. In breatltli it is about 

 forty-five inches. The specimen being imperfect, and the 

 cliaractcrs of some of the species being ill defined, I hesitate 

 applying to it a specific name. It somewhat resembles the 

 Cephaloptera giorna as figured by M. Risso. 

 A representation of this fish is given below.
