The monk list) Is a quaint creature.
It Is a sort of shark, which looks much
more like a skate, and other curious
I resemblance < have given It a variety
of popular mimes. It Is called "monk
ItSh" from Its decidedly cowl-like head;
"tlddlo lisb" beca'usc of its general
shape, and "angelllsh" because its
wlngllkc pectoral llus make It tu the
t?yo of fnney very much llko a very bad
angel. "Shark ray" Is yet another
name, und n composite photograph of a
shark, a ray, a skate, an uilgcl, a monk
and a fiddle would really give a very
fair idea of this ilsh. Science Is on the
side of the angels, with the name
