to caudal (AC) photophores rather than the five 

 groups reportedly characteristic for V. trlpunctu- 

 latus; this difference may indicate that these speci- 

 mens are actually V. stellatus Garman. This 

 problem was discussed by Grey (1960: 68).

The specimens from station 83.77 are closer to 

 the continent (about 195 km. (120 miles) offshore) 

 than is usual for this species (see Ahlstrom and 

 Counts 1958, fig. 25).

This record extends the known range of the 

 species from Japan and lat. 41°42' N., long. 150° 

 00' W. to near the coast of California and also 

 extends its geographical range into that of /. ir- 

 regularis as described by Rechnitzer and Bohlke 

 (1958).
