Hygophum at rat urn - all specimens checked. 



Hygophum reinhardtii - all specimens checked. 



Protomyctophum crockeri - some samples on northern lines may 



contain P. thompsoni , which was not identified originally. 



Microgadus proximus - all specimens checked. 



Physiculus spp. - specimen checked. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



ophidiiform larvae were included in Brosmophycis marginata , 

 Carapidae, "Otophidium" , "Zoarcidae" , and "blenny"; 

 identifications of B . marginata and Carapidae proved to be 

 mostly correct and "Zoarcidae" to be a yet unidentified 

 ophidiiform species; all "Otophidium" and "blenny" were 

 reexamined and the former included Ophidion scrippsae , 

 Chilara taylori and other ophidiiform taxa (moved to order) ; 

 "blenny" contained O. scrippsae, C. taylori, and other 

 ophidiiform taxa in addition to true blennioids. 



Trachipteridae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 were lumped to family. 



Melamphaes spp. - all identifications ascribed to Melamphaidae 

 were reexamined and assigned to genus (Melamphaes, 

 Poromitra) or species (Scopelogadus bispinosus , Scopeloberyx 

 robustus) ; larvae originally identified as Melamphaes spp. 

 were not reexamined and this category may contain other 

 melamphaid genera. 



Cottidae - all specimens checked. 



Oxylebius pictus - all specimens checked. 



Zaniolepis spp. - all specimens checked. 



Sebastes spp. - category may contain other scorpaenid genera, 

 particularly in samples south of line 120. 



Blennioidei - this is the residual of the completely reexamined 

 "blenny" category, which also contained various misidenti- 

 fied ophidiif orms, and is now restricted to members of 

 northern stichaeioid families and true blennioids (other 

 than Hypsoblennius spp.) in the southern part of the 

 pattern) . 



Labridae - all specimens originally identified to this family 



were reexamined and assigned to genus (Halichoeres spp.) or 

 species (Oxyjulis calif or nica , Semicossyphus pulcher) . 



Pomacentridae - all specimens checked; now includes species other 

 than Chromis punctipinnis , primarily in the south.
