As the tide went down they all moved off-shore with it, and 

 the eggs were left attached or screened by the grass on the 

 dampened shore to await the return of high water. Doubtless 

 the greater part of these eggs perish or are devoured by crabs, 

 birds, etc. In color the eggs are pale or somewhat transparent, 

 but mostly become more yellowish with age. In size each egg 

 is about as large as number four shot. \\'e found but few of 

 these fish elsewhere during our stay, and conclude they were 

 all in deeper waters.
