I.— DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 
Rhinobatus holeorhynchus, sp. n. 
Snout long and obtusely pointed, its preorbital length 
nearly twice the distance between outer margins of eyes, and 
its preeoral length 34 times width of mouth. Rostral carti- 
lage strong; ridges widely separated, nearly parallel, slightly 
converging anteriorly. Diameter of eye 4 times in preoral 
length of snout; that of eye+spiracle 13 times interorbital 
width. Spiracle with two folds, the outer much more 
prominent than the inner. Nostrils wide, $ width of mouth, 
and nearly twice that of the internarial space. The anterior 
nasal valve extends inwards as far as level of inner edge of 
nostril, so that valves and nostrils are separated by an inter- 
space of equal length. Mouth straight; 64 rows of teeth in 
upper jaw. Dorsals equal, elevated; the base of the first 
equal to its distance from extremities of pelvics, and slightly 
less than 4 of its distance from second dorsal. Caudal 
narrow. A distinct series of tubercles in the median line of 
the back, extending nearly as far as second dorsal ; a group 
of 3 or 4 on shoulder, 7 or 8 in front of orbit, and 3 or 4 
above spiracle. Back uniform greyish brown, lighter at 
sides of rostrum and edges of pelvics; a black blotch beneath 
extremity of snout. 
A single specimen, 28 inches in total length, from the 
Zululand coast, at a depth of 45 fathoms. 
This species appears to be related to ER. leucorhynchus, 
Giinth. 
Flolacanthus acanthops, sp. n. 
Depth of body twice in the length, length of head 3}. 
Snout not quite 4 diameter of eye, which is 2} in length of 
head. Interorbital width 3 in head. Preeopereulum with 
the veitical margin denticulated; a strong spine at the angle, 
slightly more than 4 length of head, not reaching vertical 
from posterior margin of operculum. Suboperculum serrated. 
Suborbital with a strong backwardly directed spine, + length
