Left external jugular vein passing down to unite with a vein formed by the union of the cutaneous vein with the vena anonyma, and thereby constitute the vena cava superior of the same side. PLATE IV. SKATE, Raja Batis. SKATE. 373 PLATE IV. SKATE (Raja Batis). THIS plate, illustrating the anatomy of the Skate, is introduced for the purpose of supplementing the description of the Perch, a member of the order Teleostei, p. 83. The Skate belongs to the more generalised ord...er Elasmobranchii. In addition to points characteristic of this order detailed below, note in the examination of a specimen the following : the exo- skeletal spines on the dorsal surface resembling teeth, not only in form but in structure, and attached to a basal plate of bone : the great extent of naked skin : the spiracle or visceral cleft between Meckel's arch (mandi- bular arch) and the Hyoidean arch the partial homologue of the Eusta- chian tube which opens from the mouth behind the eye : the minute apertures of the aquaeductus vestibuli, or pedicles of invagination of the inner ear, placed at the posterior and dorsal aspect of the cranium, one on either side : the skeleton, cartilaginous with the exception of the bodies of the vertebrae : the communication between the pericardial and abdominal cavities in the shape of a bifurcated canal : the presence of a posterior division of the kidney or metanaphros, with a certain number of ureters passing off from the inner side of the organ to open into the dilatation, at the posterior end of the Wolffian or mesonephric duct : the union of a certain number of these ureters into a single duct, especially in the male : in the female the open conjoined mouths, situated ventrally at the root of the liver, of the two oviducts, M tiller's ducts or Fallopian tubes ; the ' nida- mental ' gland situated on each oviduct ; the thicker posterior uterine portions of the ducts : the two oviducal openings, one on each side, into the cloaca : in the male the connection of each testis to the anterior part of the corresponding Wolffian body or mesonephros, thus forming an epididymis ; the convoluted anterior portions of the Wolffian or mesonephric ducts form- ing vasa deferentia, and the claspers placed to the inner side of the two lobes of the ventral fins.
