GUNELLUS, in ichthyology. See BLENNIUS.
GUNNER, an officer appointed for the service of the cannon; or one skilled to fire the guns.
In the tower of London, and other garrisons, as well as in the field, this officer carries a field-staff, and a large powder-horn in a string over his left shoulder: he marches by the guns; and when there is any apprehension of danger, his field-staff is armed with match: his business is to lay the gun to pass, and to help to load and traverse her.
