Notes: 



' Two specimens (L86 and 2.48 mm) from a supposed senes of Dactvluplerus volnans appear to be Baiisla capmcus. and one has the preopercular cluster of spinules. A 4 mm specimen 

 identified as B capnscus is also illustrated. 



' Lobel and Johannes (1980) descnbe the eggs as "without visible inclusions." but their photograph of a newly hatched B. imdulalus seems to show an oil drop in the yolk sac. 



' Eggs identified as Wovodon [sic] convexiroslris i= Parika scaber) were described by Robertson (1975a) and Crossland ( 1981 ). however there is reason to question this identification- Robertson 

 (in lill- Nov. 1982) notes the identification and classification as pelagic of this egg was "based on a small sample of npe |unfcnili/cd] eggs from a female leatherjacket and a conforming type in 

 the Olago Harbour plankton at that time," and that no eggs were reared. We feel the eggs described by Robertson and Crossland are not monacanthids.
