attributed to misidentif ication or they may be in the uni- 

 dentified fish larva category. 



Nomeidae - tentative identifications to genus lumped to family; 

 not recorded in earlier years. 



Pleuronectiformes - all available specimens of this category 



(originally called "flatfish") were examined and reidenti- 

 fied; residuals are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Bothidae - all specimens examined and reassigned; most were 



assigned to various paralichthyid genera or to Bothus spp. 



Citharichthys spp. - all larvae identified to genus or to a 



species of the genus from 1954 through 1960 were checked and 

 identified to species; residuals are small, poorly preserved 

 specimens or those with variable taxonomic characters. 



Etropus spp. - larvae of this taxon were originally lumped with 

 Citharichthys spp.; present records result from complete 

 reidentif ication of Citharichthys spp. 



Hippoglossina spp. - all specimens of this genus (originally 



called "pigmented bothid") were examined and assigned to 

 H . stomata . 



Paralichthys spp. - all specimens of this genus were examined and 

 most were assigned to P. calif ornicus or Xystreurys 

 liol epi s . 



Syacium ovale - all specimens examined (originally called "spiny- 

 headed bothid") . 



Xystreurys liolepis - originally misidentif ied as Paralichthys 

 calif ornicus ; all specimens reidentif ied. 



Glyptocephalus zachirus - all specimens examined. 



Hypsopsetta guttulata - specimens were originally identified as 

 PI euroni ch thys spp . 



Microstomus pacificus - all specimens examined. 



PI euroni chthys spp. - all larvae of this genus and constituent 



species were examined and assigned to species; residuals are 

 small, poorly preserved specimens. 



COMPUTER ENTRY AND EDITING 



Each taxon on the original identification sheets was given a 

 3-digit code based on the list of codes in Haight et al. (1979). 

 Taxon codes and counts from these sheets were keypunched by 

 cruise and station, along with pertinent station and tow data and 

 entered into the VAX 11/780 computer at the University of
