X. The electric organ of the skate.–Observations on the structure, relations, progressive development, and growth, of the electric organ of the skate

Abstract

In my previous papers on the ‘Electric Organ of the Skate,’ I considered the develop­ment of the organ in Raia batis the structure of the organ in R. circularis , and the structure and development of the organ in R. radiata . I propose now to consider the relations, structure, and progressive growth of the organ in R. batis , to contrast the organ of R. batis with that of Torpedo , and to refer to the various modi­fications of the electric organ I have found in the Skate genus.
