differentiated; sporadic identification of V. poweriae 

 began in 1961. 



Sternoptychidae - tentative and sporadic identifications of 

 hatchetf ishes to genus were lumped to family. 



Paralepididae - all specimens examined and identified to species; 

 residuals are small, poorly preserved or unavailable 

 specimens . 



Scopelarchidae - all specimens reidentified to species except 

 Scopelarchus ; residuals are a small, poorly preserved 

 specimen and one unavailable specimen. 



Scopelarchus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species lumped to genus. 



Lampanyctus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species lumped to genus. 



Lampanyctus regal is - 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. regal is applies to this 

 species . 



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. 



Hygophum atratum - all specimens checked. 



Hygophum reinhardtii - all specimens checked. 



Symbolophorus calif orniensis - all specimens south of line 120 

 checked. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



unidentified larvae of this order, including a type referred 

 to as "Zoarcidae", were originally placed in the "blenny" 

 category. 



Chilara taylori - all specimens checked. 



Ophidion scrippsae - all specimens checked. 



Trachipteridae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus
