of the two species could not be differentiated; sporadic 

 identification of V. poweriae began in 1961. 



Sternoptychidae - tentative and sporadic identifications of 

 hatchet fishes to genus were lumped to family. 



Astronesthidae - specimen checked. 



Bathophilus spp. - all specimens checked. 



Tactostoma macropus - all specimens checked. 



Paralepididae - all specimens examined and identified to species; 

 residuals are small, poorly preserved or unavailable 

 specimens. 



Scopelarchidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family. 



Lampanyctus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species lumped to genus. 



Lampanyctus regalis - underrepresented because of inability 



to differentiate small larvae (<5 mm) from those of other 

 species of the genus; counts may include other species of 

 the genus because of difficulty in identifying larvae of 

 this large and complex genus. 



Lampanyctus ritteri - comment for L. regalis applies to this 

 species. 



Stenobrachius leucopsarus - all specimens seaward of station 100 

 checked. 



Triphoturus mexicanus - specimens seaward of station 100 checked 

 for misidentif ication of T. nigrescens . 



Diogenichthys atlanticus - all specimens at margins of range 

 checked. 



Diogenichthys laternatus - all specimens at margins of range 

 checked. 



Hygophum spp. - all specimens reidentified to species; residuals 

 are small, poorly preserved or unavailable specimens. 



Hygophum atratum - all specimens checked. 



Hygophum reinhardtii - all specimens checked. 



Physi cuius spp. - all specimens checked. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



ophidiiform larvae were included in Brosmophycis marginata , 

 "Otophidium" , "Zoarcidae", and "blenny" ; identifications of
