Plaat XLIII. Een visch gevangen op de kust (…). – This original antique print shows fish species from the seas near New Holland (Australia). From the text; ‘Figure 5. This is a fish of the tunny kind, and agrees well enough with the figure in Table 3 of the Appendix to Mr. Willughby’s History of Fishes under the name of gurabuca; it differs something, in the fins especially, from Piso’s figure of the guarapuca. Figure 4. This resembles the figure of the Guaperva maxima caudata in Willughby’s Ichthyol. Table 9.23 and the guaparva of Piso, but does not answer their figures in every particular’.
