Scombridae - all larvae identified to this family or constituent 

 taxa (except Scomber japonicus) were reexamined and reas- 

 signed; residuals are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Pleuronectif ormes - all specimens of this category were 

 reexamined and reidentif ied. 



Bothidae - all specimens examined and reassigned; most were 

 assigned to various paralichthyid genera. 



Citharichthys spp. - all larvae identified to species were lumped 

 to genus except C. stigmaeus ; category includes larvae of 

 Etropus spp . 



Citharichthys stigmaeus - includes larvae larger than ca. 4.5 mm; 

 smaller larvae are in Citharichthys spp. 



Paralichthys calif ornicus - all specimens examined. 



Xystreurys liolepis - originally misidentif ied as Paralichthys 

 calif ornicus ; all specimens reidentif ied. 



Glyptocephalus zachirus - all specimens examined. 



Hypsopsetta guttulata - some specimens were originally identified 

 as Pleuronichthys spp. 



Lepidopsetta bilineata - specimens originally identified as 

 Psettichthys melanostictus . 



Microstomus pacificus - all specimens examined. 



Pleuronichthys spp. - all larvae of this genus and constituent 



species were examined and assigned to species; residuals are 

 unavailable specimens. 



Psettichthys melanostictus - all specimens examined. 



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 

 California, San Diego, Computing Center. After entries were 

 completed for an entire year, print-out listings of taxa and 

 counts on each station were compared with the original data 

 sheets to eliminate keypunch errors. Next, data in the file were 

 cross-checked with data on an existing file which contained: 

 station and tow data; numbers of eggs of sardine, anchovy, and 

 saury; numbers of larvae of sardine, anchovy, hake, jack 

 mackerel, and Pacific mackerel; total number of fish eggs; and 

 total number of fish larvae.
