51 
Referred Specimens in Fitch 11969b: 3. 5-7. table 11 : From LACMIP locality 423 (= LACM locality 3245), 
Signal Hill (= Interstate 405 and Cherry Avenue, Long Beach), Fernando Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, 
Los Angeles County; two otoliths (unfigured). 
From LACMIP locality 471 (= LACM locality 3802), Upper Newport Bay (= Newport Back Bay Cliffs), 
Fernando Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, Orange County; seven otoliths (unfigured). 
Remarks : According to Powell (1998:70-71), LACMIP locality 423 (= LACM locality 3245) is in Pleistocene 
strata, therefore a Pliocene record of E. rissoi from this locality is questionable.

Pliocene), however this locality is considered Pleistocene (Blake 1991; Dibblee 1999). 
Symbolophorus sp. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch and Lavenberg 11968:441 : They state “fossil lantemfish ‘imprints’ (skeletal 
remains) are abundant in Miocene diatomite and shale deposits throughout most of southern California, 
and myctophid otoliths, including those of Symbolophorus , have been found in a dozen or more 
Pleistocene, Pliocene, and Miocene deposits.”
