 We especially appreciate the aid provided by Louise 

 Dery. We would like to acknowledge the student train- 

 ees that made the project possible. Our sincere appre- 

 ciation to Dr. Werner Graf of Rockefeller University, 

 New York City, who provided his expertise and sugges- 

 tions. Our thanks also to Dr. Grace Klein-MacPhee, 

 Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode 

 Island, Narrangansett Bay Campus, Kingston, and 

 Alphonse Smigielski, National Marine Fisheries Ser- 

 vice, Narrangansett, Rhode Island, for their assistance 

 and suggestions on the proper maintenance of speci- 

 mens. Finally, we wish to gratefully acknowledge 

 George R. Bolz, Dr. Michael Pennington, NMFS, Woods 

 Hole, and Dr. Bruce Collette, NMFS, National Sys- 

 tematics Laboratory, National Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, Washington, DC, for their reviews and valuable 

 technical assistance.
