the left side being occupied by the urogenital organs. The details of 
arrangement and form may be best seen from the figures (11 and 12). 
The latter figure is drawn to a seale one-third smaller than the for- 
mer. In Figure 11, the vent is seen to be located some distance in 
front of the end of the cavity; a character not found in any other 
cottids examined. The food in the five or six specimens dissected 
was made up entirely of vegetable remains, principally foliose alge, 
mixed with which were numerous grains of sand. 
Family GOBIIDAE 
Gillichthys mirabilis Cooper 
Morris and Starks record this species as ‘‘taken in abundance in 
a slough which received some fresh water near Old Town’’ (San 
Diego Bay), and, ‘‘in Newport Bay it was found more widely dis- 
tributed.’? In a small brackish slough in ‘‘Also Canyon’’ near 
Laguna large numbers up to two inches in length were found. The 
water in this slough was apparently derived mainly from the shght 
drainage down ‘‘ Aliso Creek,’’ but probably also received some salt 
water from the bay at the mouth of the canyon during the highest 
tides. 
Typhlogobius californiensis Steindachner. Blind Goby. 
(Plate III, P) 
One specimen, about two and one-half inches long, taken in the 
sand under a stone above low tide mark. The water was a few inches 
deep over the stone when the fish was taken, but a lower tide would 
leave it dry. Whether the fish remains under stones in such cases 
was not determined, as no other specimen was found. 
Family ECHENEIDIDAE 
Echeneis remora Linnaeus. Remora. 
One specimen brought in from deep water by fishermen at New- 
port. 
Family MALACANTHIDAE 
Caulolatilus princeps (Jenyns). Whitefish, Whiting. 
One specimen, thirteen inches long, taken in deep water off New- 
port. 
Family BATRACHOIDIDAE 
Porichthys notatus Girard. Midshipman. 
One specimen washed up on sand at Laguna Beach; another taken 
by fishermen at Newport. Apparently not rare.
