To conclude, the secrets of Nature, respecting fishes in the sea, as well in regard to-their sresorting to certain places, as in their de-' parture from thence, cannot be investigated with any precifion: for instance, what shall we say of the fish called the Shad, (in Dutch for those fish, when the time of their propagation is at hand, are found in our rivers; but When that time is...
