10% and 50%. Thus the latter species is probably less 

 common than the former but not so rare as to preclude 

 its progeny being encountered. If, as M. C. Caldwell 

 (1962) suggests, P. maculatus has two juvenile stages, 

 one pelagic, the other a shallow-water, bottom-living 

 stage, then the pelagic stage must not be a strongly 

 surface oriented one except under the influence of a 

 night-light (the method most used to collect her 

 specimens) and is thus not susceptible to capture with 

 a net towed within 1 m of the surface.

The seasonality indicated by our catches of Kypho- 

 sus sectatrix is misleading. Dooley (1972, Table 4) 

 reported taking small specimens throughout the year, 

 and Moore (1962, Fig. 5) showed size frequency data 

 indicating that spawning "occurs over a wide period of 

 time during the year," probably throughout the year. 

 Both authors suggested that young K. sectatrix were 

 common among rafts of sargassum. Why we failed to 

 catch this species during all seasons cannot be ex- 

 plained.

Munro et al. (1973) reported a spawning maximum 

 in April for Abudefduf saxatilis, a secondary peak in 

 September, and no spawning from January through 

 March. The primary occurrence of this species in Oc- 

 tober in our catches is probably a result of the fall 

 spawning, but the absence of this species in the May 

 and July-August cruises cannot be explained.
