 investigations, Alaska waters, 1962" by Clifford H. Fiscus,

p. 55: 1st paragraph, 2nd line, omit out of 13 ; 2nd line after 

 the word Sea insert and in 1 stomach collected in Unimak Pass, 



p. 55: 1st paragraph, possible change in identification: 



Most fish identified as Thaleichthys pacificus in 1962 

 may have been species of the family Bathylagidae. In 1963, 

 bathylagids were identified fronn the stomachs of 92 fur seals 

 collected in the Bering Sea; all fish identified as Thaleichthys 

 in 1962 were found in the same area but for one from Unimak 

 Pass. No undigested fish were found in 1962 or 1963, and 

 identifications were made from skull bones and vertebrae and 

 from vertebral counts. The characteristic black skin of the 

 bathylagids was evident in many of the 1963 stomachs. The 

 only sample of Thaleichthys saved from 1962 proved identical 

 to the 1963 Bathylagidae specinnens, and it is possible that 

 some or all of the other Thaleichthys identified in 1962 were 

 bathylagids. 



p. 58: 3rd paragraph, 8th line, the 4th word Mallotus should 

 be changed to Theragra . 



p. 59: Under Schultz, Keyes should be changed to Keys .
