 family, Astronesthidae (open triangle with dot), and of the synodontid genus, Synodus spp. (open square with

not replicated on ETP II. In these collections 

 Cyclothone lan^ae occurred in 111 of 127 col- 

 lections, with an average abundance per col- 

 lection of 8.7 larvae. 



Danaphos oculatus (Garman) 

 (1 occurrence, 1 larva) 



A single large larva was taken at the northern 

 end of the Washington pattern at lat 19°16'N, 

 long 118°56'W. Information obtained from Cal- 

 ifornia Current and NORPAC collections indi- 



cates that Danaphos is a temperate water spe- 

 cies, occurring most commonly in collections 

 obtained from the central water mass of the 

 North Pacific in hauls which sampled to depths 

 greater than 140 m. 



Diplophos taenia (GUnther) 

 (57 occurrences, 136 larvae) 



Larvae of Diplophos taenia afford a striking 

 example of similarities in distribution, frequency 

 of occurrences, and relative abundance in the
