Protomyctophum crockeri - some samples on northern lines may 



contain P. thompsoni , which was not identified at the time; 

 specimens south of line 130 checked. 



Symbol ophorus calif orniensis - all specimens south of line 120 

 checked for confusion with Hygophum spp., stemming from 

 descriptive names. 



Bregmaceros spp. - all gadiform types (see Index) , except 

 Merluccius productus and Macrouridae, reexamined. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



ophidiiform larvae were included in Brosmophysis marginata , 

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



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. 



Antennariidae - specimen checked. 



Ceratioidei - identifications of this group were inconsistent and 

 additional specimens may be in the unidentified fish larva 

 category. 



Hemiramphidae - specimen checked. 



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) ; larvae 

 originally identified as Melamphaes spp. were not reexamined 

 and this category may contain larvae of other melamphaid 

 genera. 



Cottidae - some samples may include specimens of Scorpaenichthys 

 marmoratus , hexagrammids (e.g., Oxylebius pictus , Zaniolepis 

 spp.), and some blennioids (e.g., Hypsoblennius spp.). 



Oxylebius pictus - all specimens checked; all records were 

 original identifications. 



Zaniolepis spp. - all specimens checked; some specimens 

 originally identified as Oxylebius pictus. 



Sebastes spp. - in addition to other scorpaenid genera, 



category includes some Prionotus spp. , serranids, scombrids, 

 and other spiny-headed shorefishes, particularly in samples 

 south of line 120.
