^ ^ Without having seen either the one or the other Prof. Garman unites this species with 

 T. atra Macleay from New Gviinea. I labour under the same disadvantage, but before accepting his 

 determination I must be satisfied that a ray, having the " head and body covered with small nitid 

 granules" (atra), can possibly be identical with one which has the " disk covered with close minute 

 spines" (mortoni). The difference may be sexual, but that is highly improbable.
