Raja Eatonii. 



Allied to R. Smitliii. Snout of moderate length, the ante- 

 rior margins meeting at a right angle ; the width of the inter- 

 orbital space is two sevenths of the distance of the eye from 

 the end of the snout. The anterior profilcj from the snout to 

 the angle of the pectoral fin, is slightly emarginate, the outer 

 pectoral angle being rounded. The greater part of the upper 

 surface of the body is smooth ; minute spines are distributed 

 between the eyes and in a narrow stripe along the margins of 

 the body ; a broad band of minute spines along the median 

 line of the back and the upper surface of the tail ; a single 

 larger recurved spine in the middle of the back ; a series of 

 nine or ten rather small spines placed at a considerable distance 

 from each other along the median line of the tail j no spines 

 on the side of the tail. Lower parts smooth. Upper lip 

 fringed on the side. Teeth pointed, conical, in about thirty 

 series in the upper jaw. Male with a patch of claw-like spines 

 on each pectoral fin. Brownish black above, with indistinct 

 round whitish spots ; whitish below, with some irregular 

 brownish black spots ; lower part of the tail brownish black. 



A single adult male specimen was obtained by the Rev. A. 

 E. Eaton in Hoyal Sound, Kerguelen's Land. It is 26^ inches 

 long, the tail measuring 14 inches j its greatest width is 18 

 inches.

The height of the body is one third, the length of the head 

 one fourth of the total length (without caudal). Eye longer
