HORNED FISH. 
The very curious fish represented in the 
annexed figure, was originally brought from 
Madagascar, where it is by no means un- 
common. 
Willughby, in his book, De Piscibus, has 
given a print similar in it's general form, but 
of a quite different surface, irregularly spotted; 
and he calls it, Pisciculus Cornutus, or the 
Little Horned Fish. 
The species are said to be numerous ; and, 
therefore, it seems evident that Willughby 's 
fish, if not a variety in the species wliich we 
are to describe, was at least of the same genus. 
To this, indeed, the epithet Little might not 
be ill applied ; since the objed from which it 
was originally taken did not exceed six inchest 
and a half in lengthy including both the horns 
and tlie tail.
