below them * an inch. The Fins are five. The Gill-Fins 
Hand obliquely between the Back and the Bread, an inch 
and » long, and three broad. Three inches before the Tail- 
end, a third alnioft two inches long and one broad. Un- 
derneath, a fourth fomewhat lefs. This, which may be 
noted, being couched backward, the other foreward, 
The Tail-Fin two inches and ^ long, and as high, with its 
utmoft edge Convex. 
His Skin Membranous and limber, on the top of his 
Head, Back, upper Sides and Brealt, and round about his 
Tail, fmooth and bald. On his Belly and lower part of his 
Sides and Breaft, armed with little (hort Prickles, about the 
third of an inch diitant, and fixed with little Roots, as in 
the former. 
From the Crown of his Head are drawn two Lines al- 
nioft to thofe holes like Noftrils. From the hinder part of 
the Head, two more all along the Back and Tail, in the 
figure of the Letter / And two others from the Gill-Fins 
towards the A?ws, and from thence to the end of the Tail 
By thefe Lines, were there no other marks, it is eafie to 
diftinguifh him from all the other Species.

The RED-GOURNET. Paw Salviani. Cuculns, from 
the noife he makes like a Cuckgw when he is taken. Well 
defcribed by Rondeletim. But his figure, especially in ma- 
king him with a long Snout,anfwers not,unlefs it be of ano-

almoft cubical, like that of the Scorpion-Fijb. From which 
this chiefly differs in not having the Fins of the Back prickly 
or fpiked, and having a Line running from the top of the 
Back on each fide the Back-Fm to the Tail,like a fmall linked

The LONG-SNOUTED GOURNET. Cuculus Ron-

from the former Species, chiefly, in having a much longer 
head, and a faddle-Nofe. 
The STAR-GAZER. Vranofcopm, Becaufe he looks 
diredly againft the Sky : whereas, as Rorideletim obferves,
