Blennioidei - this is the residual of the completely reexamined 

 "blenny" category, which also contained various misidenti- 

 fied ophidii forms, and is now restricted to members of north- 

 ern stichaeioid families and true blennioids (other than 

 Hypsoblennius spp.) in the southern part of the pattern. 



Labridae - all specimens originally identified to family were 

 reexamined and assigned to genus (Halichoeres spp.) or 

 species (Oxylebius calif ornica , Semicossyphus pulcher) ; 

 residuals are small, poorly preserved or unavailable 

 specimens. 



Mugil spp. - specimen checked. 



Apogonidae - all specimens checked and identified as Howella 



brodiei ; in this report we list H . brodiei in Apogonidae for 

 convenience, recognizing that its systematic affinities are 

 not resolved. 



Carangidae - all specimens checked; tentative and sporadic 

 identifications to genus or species (except Trachurus 

 symmetricus and Seriola lalandi) were lumped to family. 



Seriola lalandi - all specimens checked. 



Gerreidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus were 

 lumped to family. 



Girella nigricans - all specimens checked. 



Medial una calif orniensis - all specimens checked. 



Caulolatilus princeps - all specimens checked. 



Sciaenidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family. 



Scombridae - all larvae originally identified to this family or 

 constituent taxa (except Scomber japonicus) were reexamined 

 and reassigned; residual are small, poorly preserved or 

 unavailable specimens. 



Trichiuridae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family. 



Pleuronectiformes - all available specimens of this category 



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

 fied; residual is a small, poorly preserved specimen. 



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.
