THE STREAKED GURNARD is the second species of the 

 British Gurnards having large pectoral fins reaching beyond 

 the vent, several of which species have here been placed in 

 succession, the more readily to distinguish them from those 

 hereafter to be described, which have short pectoral fins. 



In the Gurnard now to be noticed, the head is much 

 shorter, the profile more vertical, and the arming spines of 

 the head but little produced, while the whole surface of the 

 body exhibits transverse lines reaching from the dorsal ridge 

 or crest on each side to the belly.
