Bathophilus spp. - all specimens checked. 



Tactostoma macropus - all specimens checked; all listings of 

 Bathophilus spp. were specimens of T. macropus. 



Scopelarchidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family. 



Lampanyctus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species (mostly descriptive types) lumped to genus. 



Stenobrachius leucopsarus - all specimens at margins of range 

 checked. 



Diogenichthys spp. - all specimens reidentified to species; 

 residuals are small poorly preserved specimens. 



Diogenichthys atlanticus - all specimens at margins of range 

 checked. 



Diogenichthys laternatus - all specimens at margins of range 

 checked. 



Electrona rissoi - recognition of this species was inconsistent 

 and others may be included in Protomyctophum crockeri or 

 Myctophidae; no original identifications were recorded in 

 1952. 



Hygophum spp. - all specimens reidentified to species; residuals 

 are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Protomyctophum crockeri - some samples on northern lines may 

 contain P. thompsoni , which was not identified at the 

 time. 



Symbolophorus calif orniensis - all specimens south of line 120 

 checked for confusion with Hygophum spp. , stemming from 

 descriptive names. 



Merluccius productus - all specimens south of line 140 checked. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



ophidiiform larvae were included in Brosmophysis marginata , 

 Carapidae, "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 

 O. scrippsae, C. taylori, and other ophidiiform taxa in 

 addition to true blennioids. 



Ceratioidei - identifications of this group were inconsistent and 

 additional specimens may be in the unidentified fish larva 

 category.
