Extract

For a number of years our tanks have from time to time contained a very large and easily-recognised Skate-purse, but its specific identity has remained a matter of uncertainty. Fishermen attributed it to the “Bottle-nose ray”, a species not to be found, so far as I am aware, in ichthyological works.
