Note 2787 — BOOK IX. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF FISHES. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
The squatina and the ray do not interbreed, Cuvier observes, any more than other fish; and the Squatina raia, or rhinobatis, (which was said to be their joint production), is a particular species, more flat in form than the squalus, and longer than the ray.
