The Digital Ark: Early Modern Collections of Curiosities in England and Scotland, 1580-1700
Mr. Scotto ( - )
Found in Grew's Museaum Regalis as a London Merchant and donor to the RS. References in Documents:Hippocampus. A small Fish. So
called, because his Head is shaped like a Horses, and his
Tail divided by several Incisures, somewhat like those of
Caterpillars, called
Merchant. It hath the same number of Fins, and in the
same place, the same kind of Bill, the fore-Body Septangular, and the Tail square, as
the
Trumpet-Fish. And is,
therefore probably, also Viviparous: and so I have ventur'd
to place it here.
