Two specimens of this Elasmobranch have recently been landed at Plymouth, the one on the 21st of June, and the other on the 8th of July. They were both captured by steam trawlers working off Vigo Bay on the north-west coast of Spain. The specimens cannot, therefore, be claimed as English; but since only one example appears to have been previously landed in this country, having been taken off the coast of Cornwall in 1877; and since the fish is, therefore, not at all well known, a few notes on the two specimens brought to the Laboratory may be of interest.
