[Record of Two Fish, Not Before Mentioned, from Laguna]
During the summer of 1914 no special effort was made to collect fish, but the two following species were taken:
Porichthys notatus Girard
A specimen of this interesting but rather common Californian fish was taken in a tide pool and kept for some time alive in the aquarium. This is sometimes called "Midshipman," because of the bright metallic spots over the head and body, like the buttons on a midshipman's uniform of years ago. These spots are provided with a lens, connective tissue capsule and a reflector, and are supposed to be luminous.
Mola mola Linnæus
A small specimen of this head-fish, or sunfish, was brought to us by the fisherman.
