EAGLE RAY. 44)7 



sent preserved in their museum. In breadth it is about 

 forty-five inches. The specimen being imperfect, and the 

 characters of some of the species being ill defined, I hesitate 

 applying to it a specific name. It somewhat resembles the 

 Cephaloptera giorna as figured by M. Risso. 

 A representation of this fish is given below.
