Its otoliths match those from a large iudividual netted off Portuguese Bend, California, in 1954. I'dli/ineta media (Peters) Captures : 59, 3 (). Remarks : The characters for distinguishing eastern Pacific species of Pulonictd are poor at best. Future work may show that our three specimens are wrongly assigned, but they do fit pulilishcd descriptions of P. media extremely well. XEXICHTHYIDAEâsalemas Xenistius californiensis (Steindachner) Captures: 51, 1 (125). CrilAS^rDDOXTTDAEâswallowers Kali normani Parr Captures: 4, 1 (115) ; 64, 1 (128). Remarks: Ebeling (11J02) gave the range of K. norinani as extending from lat. 23° N. to lat. 28° N. based upon live individuals in the Scripps Institution of Oceanograiihy collection. Since l!*(i2, two specimens have been caught in the Catalina Hasin (Figure 4) oft' southern California by personnel from llic I'ni- versity of Southern California ai)oard the VeJero IV. I â H AXOSCOPIDAP:âstargazers Kathetostoma averruticus . and Rollman Captures: 5, 1 (Hi. Remarks: Tiiis tiny specimen was identified as K. (irerninrus on the basis of liiiray counts, utilizing data in the recent publication of FiiTstino and Wi'incr SCORPAEXIDAEâscorpionfishes f> spp. (Figure 5) Captures: 16, IS (»( ; 19, r>'.) (32-117) ; 27, 8 (34-47). Remarks: These 8G specimens represent at least four species; possibly all are new to science, but this will not be known until a review of the Gulf Sehastodes and I'ontiiius is available. Xone of the 49 species of Sebastodes covered by Phillips (1957J was listed
