Symbol ophorus calif orniensis - all specimens south of line 120 

 checked for confusion with Hygophum spp. , stemming from 

 descriptive names. 



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

 Merluccius productus and Macrouridae, reexamined. 



Ophidiif ormes - 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. 



Ceratioidei - identifications of this group were inconsistent and 

 additional specimens may be in the unidentified fish larva 

 category. 



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) ; larvae 

 originally identified as Melamphaes spp. were not reexamined 

 and this category may contain other melamphaid genera. 



Cottidae - some samples may include specimens of Scorpaenichthys 

 marmoratus , hexagrammids (e.g., Oxylebius pictus , Zaniolepis 

 spp.), and some blennioids (e.g., Hypsoblennius spp.). 



Oxylebius pictus - all specimens checked and some reassigned to 

 Zani ol epi s spp . 



Zaniolepis spp. - not identified originally; specimens recently 

 identified from Oxylebius pictus. 



Sebastes spp. - in addition to other scorpaenid genera, 

 category includes some Prionotus spp. , and other spiny- 

 headed shorefishes, particularly in samples south of line 

 120. 



Sebastolobus spp. - this category is underrepresented and 

 additional specimens may be in Sebastes spp. 



Blennioidei - this is the residual of the completely reexamined 

 "blenny" category, which also contained various misidenti- 

 fied ophidiif orms, and is now restricted to members of 

 northern stichaeioid families and true blennioids (other 

 than Hypsoblennius spp.) in the southern part of the 

 pattern) .
