coastal waters. With the additions reported herein, the North Carolina 
marine ichthyofauna in less than 200 m contains over 680 species 
(S. W. Ross and G. H. Burgess, unpublished manuscript). However, 
many of these are cold-temperate species that rarely range south of 
Cape Hatteras, and thus, are not permanent members of the Carolinian 
Region. The North Carolina ichthyofauna is much richer than previously 
reported, and future zoogeographic and systematic data will likely 
prove that the northern Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic Bight 
are not significantly different in fish species richness.
