GAR FISH Madras Fishes Half-Beaks India Dorothy Hornell Flying Fish Old Postcard

Vintage Colour Old Art Drawn Postcard. Fish, Madras Fishes. The Gar-Fish or the Half-Beaks (Hemirhamphus limbatus, C. & V.), drawn from life by Dorothy L. Hornell. Artist Signed. The lower jaw of this fish is prolonged and spear-like, whence its name. It is pelagic and gregarious in habits, sometimes taking leaps in the air, a propensity well developed in the closely related Flying Fish. Curiously the bones of this fish are green.

Publisher: The Madras Aquarium
Series No: 1
Faults: Spots on back
