 This fifh is of a very Angular form : it is pretty well delineated in John/ion, and 





defcribed perfectly well by Gronovius y p. 44

The head is pretty round, but 



flatted in the fore part, and pretty prominent about the eyes: it is covered with a 

 ftrong honyfeuta, terminating m two ftrong thorns that ftretch back clofe over the 

 fhoulders, as thofe of the lower jaw do on both fides under the p^dtoral fins. The 

 jaws are befet with fmall teeth, and the branchiojlegcus membranes fuitained 



four arched oflicles. The body is of an oblong form, pretty fquare, and tapering 

 towards the tail; it is well covered with fcales every where, but thofe of the fides 

 are frequently prominent and ibmetimes fharp- pointed. The back is furnifhed with 

 two fins, but the radii of the foremoft, which is fixed immediately over the 

 breaff, are weakly, and only fix in number, with a fmall rugged one behind ; but 

 the fecond is membranous and fuifained by eight rays: it is placed oppofite to the

pec- 



anal, which it alio refembles, though this is fuftained only by lix radii. 

 toral fins are very large, and furnilhed each with an appendicle, con fitting of two 

 or three fimple radii. The tail is almoft fquare, and fupplkd with fome fhort 

 prickles at both fides of the bate. The fifh is commonly from ten to twelve 

 or thirteen inches in length, and the pectoral hns 



are 



feldom under fix and a half, 

 each, or under five in breadth when expanded ; fo that the diltance between the 

 tips of the expanded fins is commonly about fifteen inches.

This fim is readily known by its flatted bread, which is fuftained by a large tri- 

 anguhr flernum, placed between the bread- fins, immediately under thefkin j and by 

 the areolated and radiated ftructureof the fcuta that covers the head, which is much 

 deprefled in the fore part. The breaft-fins are very large in this fpecie, though not
