394 N- ANNANDAI.K : A new Stin^ Ray. [Voi,. IT. 1908.] 



Habitat. — Coast of Chittagong, head of the Bay of Bengal ; 

 shallow water (17 fathoms). Captured at the end of August, 1908. 



Only one specimen has as yet been taken. It represents a 

 form very distinct from any hitherto fully described, but may be 

 identical with Blyth's Trygon atrocissinms, a species described from 

 pieces of a tail and therefore impossible to recognize, especially as 

 the ' ' t^'pe ' ' appears to have perished. Although the specimen 

 of T. microps was taken in shallow water, its pale colour, small 

 eyes and delicate skin would suggest that it is reahy a deep-sea 

 form.
