Hygophum spp. - all specimens reidentified to species; residuals 

 are small, poorly preserved or unavailable specimens. 



Hygophum at rat urn - all specimens checked. 



Hygophum reinhardtii - all specimens checked. 



Protomyctophum crockeri - some samples on northern lines may 



contain P. thompsoni , which was not identified originally. 



Physi cuius spp. - specimen checked. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



ophidiiform larvae were included in Brosmophycis 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 . scrippsae, C. 

 taylori, and other ophidiiform taxa. 



Atherinidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 were lumped to family. 



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. 



Acanthuridae - specimen checked. 



Blennioidei - this is the residual of the completely reexamined 

 "blenny" category, which also contained various misiden- 

 tified onh idii forms . and is now restricted to members of 

 northern stichaeioid families and true blennioids (other 

 than Hypsoblennius spp.) in the southern part of the 

 pattern.
