B. marginata 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 0. 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 ophidiiforms, 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 family were 

 reexamined and assigned to genus (Halichoeres spp.) or 

 species (Oxyjulis calif ornica , Semicossyphus pulcher) . 



Chromis punctipinnis - records south of about line 120 may 

 include other pomacentrid taxa. 



Howella brodiei - all specimens checked; some originally 



identified as Apogonidae; in this report we list H. brodiei 

 in the family Apogonidae for convenience, recognizing that 

 its systematic affinities are not resolved. 



Carangidae - all specimens checked; tentative and sporadic 

 identifications to genus or species (except Trachurus 

 symmetricus and Seriola lalandi) were lumped to family. 



Seriola lalandi - all specimens checked. 



Gerreidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family.
