Fishes of the Pacific Coastcolor are scarcely distinguishable from the sand. There are fourteen anadromous species, that is,species which ascend the rivers in the spring orfall for the purpose of spawning in fresh w^ater,but which pass the greater part of their lives inthe sea. Of the anadromous fishes the most im-portant are the species of salmon; the largest insize are the sturgeons. But besides these speciesseveral little fishes, such as the lampreys, havesimilar habits. Four species are confined chiefly to the brack-ish mouths of streams, a very small proportion,because California has very little of estuary , as above stated, about forty-five speciesare confined exclusively to the rivers.
