THE TRIGGER, OR FILE FISH. George Forster’s drawing of a kind of “Old Wife,” known as the File Fish (Balistes veluta)—painted at the Cape Verde Islands, when Cook’s vessel, the Resolution, was there in 1772. Note the more brilliant colouring of the more tropical File fishes, often drawn-out, as here, into long ribbonlike stripes to bedeck cheeks and muzzles.
