near the shores their movements are a combination of those 
of the two previous classes, and they wander widely up and 
down the coast. They spawn upon our continental slope, some 
entering the rivers, some upon the in-shore shallows, and 
some upon the off-shore shoals, their young coming to the 
shores with their parents. They all are summer visitors in 
the northern districts of their distribution, though some, lke 
the herring, only appear in New England in the winter. The 
best known examples of this group are among the river- 
spawning, or anadromous species, the salmon (Salmo salar), 
the shad (Adosa sapidissima), the alewife (Pomolobus pseudoharengus), 
and perhaps the striped-bass (Aoccus lineatus), and the smelt 
(Osmerus mordax). Among the shore-spawning species in the 
North, the capelin (AZallotus villotus), the launce (Ammodytes 
lanceolatus), and the herring (Clupea harengus): In the South the 
scuppaug (Stenotomus argyrops), sheepshead (Archosargus probato- 
cephalus), the sea-bass (Centropistes atrarius), the atherine (Chzros- 
toma notatum), the mullet (AZugil sf.), and the mackerel (Scom- 
ber scombrus); and among the off-shore spawners, the pompano 
(Zrachynotus carolinus), the squeateague (Cynoscion carolinensis), 
and the menhaden (revoortia tyrannus), and probably the blue- 
fish (Pomatomus saltatrix).
