Vinciguerria lucetia - some V. poweriae may remain in these 



samples because small larvae of the two species could not be 



differentiated; sporadic identification of V. poweriae began 

 in 1961. 



Sternoptychidae - tentative and sporadic identifications of 

 hatchetf ishes to genus were lumped to family. 



Paralepididae - all specimens examined and identified to species; 

 residuals are small, poorly preserved or unavailable 

 specimens. 



Scopelarchidae - all specimens reidentified to genus or species; 

 residuals are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Lampanyctus spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 

 species lumped to genus. 



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. 



Hygophum spp. - all specimens reidentified to species; residuals 

 are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Hygophum atratum - all specimens checked. 



Hygophum reinhardtii - all specimens checked. 



Physi cuius spp. - specimen checked. 



Ophidiiformes - this category did not exist originally and 



unidentified larvae of this order, including a type referred 

 to as "Zoarcidae" , were originally placed in the "blenny" 

 category. 



Ophidion scrippsae - all specimens checked. 



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. 



Hexagrammidae - all specimens checked and identified to genus or 

 species; residual is a small, poorly preserved specimen.
