FIGURE by D. H. Fry, Jr., 1950. LONGNOSE SKATE Raja rhina Jordan and Gilbert The egg-ease of R. rhina is rectangular, about tAvice as long as wide, and bears a pair of short, slender horns at each corner. The anterior horns are longest and the edge of the capsule between them is slightly concave; the capsule edge between the posterior horns is almost straight. Attachment threads arise in a mass along each moderately convex lateral edge. The threads are almost comi)letely worn away from some capsules, while in others (presumably younger) short, fine threads almost completely cover the case. The attachment fibers are greenish and the case itself is usually dark-brown or black. The egg-case of R. rhina closely resendjles that of R. inornata (Figure 4), but its surface is rough rather than smooth. De Lacy and Chapman (1935) measured 41 cases which ranged in least length from 94 to 130 mm and in greatest widtli fi-om 54 to 77 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
