It has been prepared at the request of the Institution and i)printed with the authorization of the Honorable Minister of the Interior. The scientific literature relating to the fishes of the west coast of North America is of unusual recentness, as well as rapid growth. The following bibliography is an almost complete listing, in chronological order, of the memoirs and articles of all kinds that have been published on the fishes of the region in question.
The titles of the (io\eriiuient ])ublications are taken from a iikuiu- writing compilation containing notices of all the reports published by the General and State Governments on scientific explorations, and intended to be more particular than the present work . They are retained with the bars. indicating the distribution on the title .. pages of the lines etc. A number of the papers recorded here belong to this category of the incompetent or incompetent : the titles lol.
Together with accounts of several voyages and attempts made to settle California, by taking actual surveys of that country, its bay, aud the coast of the South Sea. With an historical description of the author's route through Mexico, and the natural history of that province. It is nndiMibteilly that this work is an expression of the statement that there is greatly {jonetbo round.1 of the periodical press, to the effect that California and the many fish were observed on the voyage to observe the transit of the Venus to Lower California, nU'J.

If you throw small fish into the water, they will swim, and they have long been accustomed to that element.
