<hw>Gurnard</hw>, <i>n.</i> i.q. <i>Gurnet</i> (q.v.).

<hw>Gurnet</hw>, <i>n.</i> The species of <i>Trigla</i> found
in British waters, called <i>Gurnards</i> are of the family of
<i>Cottidae</i>. The word <i>Gurnet</i> is an obsolete or
provincial form of Gurnard, revived in Australia, and applied
to the fish <i>Centropogon scorpoenoides</i>, Guich., family
<i>Scorpoenidae</i>. The original word <i>Gurnard</i> is
retained in New Zealand, and applied to the new species
<i>Trigla kumu</i> (<i>kumu</i> being the Maori name), family
<i>Cottidae</i>. The <i>Flying Gurnet</i> is <i>Trigla
polyommata</i>, Richards., found on all the Australian coasts
from New South Wales to Western Australia, family
<i>Cottidae</i>. It is a distinct species, not included in the
British species. They have large pectoral fins, but are not
known to possess the power of supporting themselves in the air
like the "flying fish" which belong to other genera. Sir
Fredk. McCoy says that <i>Sebastes Percoides</i>, Richards., is
called Gurnet, or Garnet-perch, by the fishermen and dealers,
as well as the more common <i>Neosebastes scorpoenoides</i>,
Guich., and <i>Scorpoena panda</i>, Richards.

which rests on the palaeozoic bed-rock." (Brough
Smyth, `Glossary of Mining Terms.')

"Duffers are so common And golden gutters rare."

1871. J. J. Simpson, `Recitations,' p. 23:

"Privations and hardships you all have to suffer
Ere you can expect to get on to the gutter."

1890. Rolf Boldrewood, `Miner's Right,' c. viii. p. 81:

"If we happened to drop right down on the `gutter' or main
course of the lead, we were all right."
