On the other hand, many southern species find their way northward as far as San Francisco. Others of them come north- ward in the summer, moving southward as winter approaches. Thus many species properly southern are found regularly in the bay of Monterey. Of the 170 species that belong to the north of Point Concepcion, we have two very distinct cate* gories; the one comprises the Arctic and sub-Arctic fishes like the halibut, the sturgeon, and the her- ring, and several varieties of the flound...ers. With these are a great body of peculiarly California types, which are scarcely or not at all represented in other regions, and which evidently had their origin upon our own coast. Among these, and most con- spicuous, are the twenty or more species of surf fishes, which are commonly and wrongly known as perch. All of these bring forth their young alive, well-developed at birth. Scarcely less abun- dant are the various species of rock fishes, red, green and black in color, which go by the general name of rock cod.
