ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We are particularly grateful to Charles E. Daw- 

 son, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory Museum; 

 Richard H. Goodyear, University of Panama; Rolf 

 Juhl, Southeast Fisheries Center, Pascagoula; 

 Luis Howell Rivero, Miami; C. Richard Robins, 

 UMML; and Robert Schoknecht, MCZ, for making 

 the hagfish material available for this study. For 

 help with hagfish measurements and valuable 

 discussions on hagfish taxonomy we are greatly 

 indebted to Charmion B. MacMillan. J0rgen 

 Nielsen, Richard H. Rosenblatt, and Robert L. 

 Wisner critically read the manuscript and offered 

 valuable suggestions. Elizabeth N. Shor typed the 

 final manuscript. 



The Swedish-American Foundation and the 

 Danish Natural Science Research council made it 

 financially possible for the senior author to con- 

 centrate on this work when visiting Scripps In- 

 stitution of Oceanography. All this help is grate- 

 fully acknowledged.
