Record of Two Fish, Not Before Men- 

 tioned, 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 aquari- 

 um. 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 sup- 

 posed to be luminous. 



Mola mola Linnaeus 



A small specimen of this head-fish, or sunfish, was brought to us 

 by the fisherman. W. A. H.
