 straight, the other is curved and grooved only at 

 base. Figure the natural size. I have also found 

 smaller ones, which belong apparently to the same 

 species. 



FAMILY MILIOBATIDES. 



Rays whose tails are provided with serratine 

 stings. 



GENUS MILIOBATIS. 



Sting dentated upon one margin. No stings of 

 this kind have as yet been met with. 



GENUS TRYGON. 



Sting with both margins dentated.
