Icticus ischanus (Jordan and Thompson) Blackrag An 18-inch blackrag was taken in a bait net haul near the Newport Beach Pier, Orange County, on September 23, 1946. Mr. Emery S. (Casey) Jones, skipper of the baitboat, did not recognize his catch and sent it to the California State Fisheries Laboratory for identification. Until the specimen was examined by Dr. Carl L. Hubbs of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, California, and Mr. Wilbur I. Follett of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, identifica- tion was not positive. This is the second known specimen of Icticits ischanus. The first was taken at Okinawa in 1911 and reported by Jordan and Thompson in Mem. Carnegie Mus., 6 (4), 1914; 242-243, pi. 27, fig. 4. Hubbs and Follett will publish on the present specimen in detail at some future date. The crew of the boat which caught this fish stated that as it lay on the deck, it went through color changes comparable to those noticed in a dolphin when removed from the water. The final change was to an overall dull black which remained in death. Nautichthys oculo-fasciatus (Girard) Sculpin A small sculpin of this species was taken on hook and line September 14, 1947, off Point Sal, San Luis Obispo County, by Mr. Earl Farris of. 2 3 4 INCHES Figure 50.
