A true and perfect account of the miraculous sea-monster. Or, wonderful fish lately taken in Ireland : bigger than an ox, yet without legs, bones, fins, or scales; with two heads, and ten horns of 10 or 11 foot long, on eight of which horns there grew knobs about the bigness of a cloak-button, in shape like crowns or coronets, to the number of 100 on each horn, which were all to open, and had rows of teeth within them: and in all other parts wonderful and unparalel'd. Together with the manner how it first appeared and was taken at a place called Dingel Ichough in the west of Ireland, and since brought to Dublin, to be shown publiquely: and all other material curcumstances relating thereunto. Faithfully communicated by an eye witness
