Since my paper on the Australian Devil Ray appeared in the Australian Zoologist (viii., 1936, 164), I have consulted books, manuscripts, and speci- mens in different Museums and have a few notes to add. The type of Ceratoptera ehrenbergii Muller & Henle from the Red Sea is in the Zoologisehes Museum der Universitat, Berlin. It is a Manta (Whitley, loc. cit., p. 183) with terminal mouth, fair-sized dorsal fin, short thin tail without spine, small ventrals, and rough integument. To the synonymy of Shaw's Mobula diabolus (loc. cit., p. 185) add Cephaloptera tatraniana Van Hasselt, Algemeene Konst- en Letter-Bode, i., May, 1823, p. 316, based on Russell's pi. ix., type of Shaw's species. Van Hasselt's name appears to have been overlooked by zoologists but is listed in Sherborn's Index Animalium, 1801-1850 (June, 1931), p. 6390; the rare book in which it was proposed was consulted in the British Museum, Bloomsbury. Mobula rochebruni (Whitley, loc. cit., p. 187) should be rochebrunei. Vaillant's original description, which I saw at the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), South Kensington, states that there are teeth in both jaws, there being 50 from side to side and 10 from front to back ("une cinquantaine de rangees transversales et une dizaine en profondeur")..
