Engraulidae - includes nearshore taxa (mostly Anchoa spp.) large 

 enough to separate from Engraulis mordax . Some nearshore 

 samples of small E. mordax may contain other anchovy genera, 

 but could not be differentiated. 



Nansenia spp. - all specimens checked and identified as N. 



Candida or N. crassa ; all specimens of these species near 

 their range boundaries checked. 



Leuroglossus schmidti - all specimens checked. 



Osmeridae - all specimens checked. 



Sternoptychidae - tentative and sporadic identifications of 

 hatchetf ishes to genus were lumped to family. 



Bathophilus spp. - all specimens checked. 



Scopelarchidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family. 



Lampanyctus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species (mostly descriptive types) lumped to genus; 

 identification of L. regalis and L. ritteri begun in 1954. 



Lampanyctus regalis - underrepresented because of inability to 

 differentiate small larvae (<5 mm) from those of other 

 species of the genus; counts may include other species of 

 the genus because of difficulty in identifying larvae of 

 this large and complex genus. 



Lampanyctus ritteri - comment for L . regalis applies to this 

 species. 



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 may be included in Protomyctophum crockeri or Mycto- 

 phidae. 



Hygophum spp. - all specimens reidentified to species; residuals 

 are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Myctophum aurolaternatum - all specimens of "Astronesthidae" 

 proved to be this species. 



Protomyctophum crockeri - some samples on northern lines may 

 contain P. thompsoni , which was not identified at the 

 time; specimens on line 130 and south were checked.
