only specimen collected ; but it is evident from a view of the plates which 

 remain, that they are here larger and more convex than those of 

 the rays. 



Diameter of the body 5 lines. Length of each ray 1-J inches. Width 

 of the rays at their junction with the body 3 lines. Depth of the rays 

 from the dorsal to the ventral side of the body apparently somewhat less 

 than the width. The total breadth of the specimen, if the rays were 

 straightened out, would thus be about 4J inches. 



From the manner in which the rays are curved, it is evident that they 

 possessed a considerable amount of flexibility. The specimen is somewhat 

 distorted by pressure, but a small portion of one of the rays near the body 

 seems to retain its natural shape, and it is here obtusely angulated along 

 the median line. The transverse section of the ray should be, therefore, 

 sub-pentagonal. There is still, however, some doubt on this point. The 

 under side is unknown. .
