Appendix 1 
This appendix provides number and length of speci- 
mens, location, depth, and other details on the mate- 
rials examined for this taxonomic revision of North 
Pacific sand lances of the genus Ammodytes: A. hexa- 
pterus, A. personatus, A. japonicus, and A. heian new 
species. Lengths are given in standard length.
