The Fins, as to number and fituation, or placing on 
the Body, were exadtly the fame in both , 1 ihall there- 
fore omit their defcription^ and only take notice where-

Fin on the Back of the Tellow Gurnard^ there were four 
or five Radij or Spines 5 whereof the firft was fix inches

lharp-pointed 5 whereof the fecond from the Head being 
the longeft, was only a little above an inch, and the reft 
not much ftiorter. Note, the Red Gurnard I had to
