Sternoptychidae - tentative and sporadic identifications of 

 hatchet fishes to genus were lumped to family. 



Bathophilus spp. - all specimens checked. 



Scopelarchidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family. 



Ceratoscopelus townsendi - low number probably reflects both 

 inconsistent identification and fewer offshore samples. 



Lampadena urophaos - absence of this species may indicate 

 inability to identify it or be a reflection of lower 

 sampling effort after June. 



Lampanyctus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species (mostly descriptive types) lumped to genus. 



Stenobrachius leucopsarus - specimens at margins of range 

 reexamined. 



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. 



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 des- 

 criptive names. 



Bregmaceros spp. - all gadiform types (see Index) , except 

 Merluccius productus and Macrouridae, reexamined. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



ophidiiform larvae were included in Brosmophysis marginata , 

 Carapidae, "Otophidium" , "Zoarcidae", and "blenny" ; identi- 

 fications of B. marginata and Carapidae 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.
