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.

Note on the Sea Urchins of Laguna Beach
Due to the kindness of Dr. H. L. Clark of Harvard, we are able now to
have some clearer idea about the number of species of sea urchins found
at Laguna.
_Strongylocentrotus purpuratus_ Stimp
This is our most common species. It occurs by the hundreds in some of
the larger tide pools, such as those near Seal Rocks. Judging from the
specimens sent to Dr. Clark, the rather common greenish form, which
we supposed to be distinct at first, is simply a younger form of the
same species. This greenish form is more often found nearer shore under
stones, where quite small individuals are abundant.
