SEA-BAT. 
This Sea Bat, which was originally figured 
by Edwards of the natural size, is the Guacu- 
cuia, of Piso and Willughby. It is an inha- 
, i)itant of the coast of Brasil, as well as of 
Jamaica and the other West-India islands. It 
I is figured by Browne, who also calls it the 
•Sea-Bat, in his Natural History of Jamaica; 
and Piso, in his account of Brasil, Edwards 
remarks, has a bad figure which falsely gives 
it a hori zontal tale. 
This Sea-Bat, as preserved in spirits, Ed- 
^ wards says, appeared to him all over of a dark 
brown or dusky colour- As it seemed to him 
cartilaginous, he took it to be of the ray kind. 
Our figure shews the tail in it's true direflion; 
the small fins on the upper and under sides of 
the tail ; the mouth ; and the snout, or horn, 
over the mouth. The under side, or belly, 
has a pair of fins nearly in the situation of the 
fore legs of quadrupeds; and the two great 
or principal hind fins have somewhat the 
appearance
