Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Taxonomy and Distribution of Lanternfishes (Family Myctophidae) Of the Eastern Pacific Ocean This study of the lanternfishes (family Myctophidae) of the eastern Pacific Ocean is intended to meet the need for one publication in which the available information on their taxonomy, distribution, variation, and natural history (the latter information is meager) can be found. It also provides keys to their identification. The study is admittedly a preliminary effort. It is also necessarily incomplete in regard to some genera, notably Diaphus and Gymnoscopelus. Further collection in the far southern and central Pacific and comparison with worldwide collections are needed before a definitive work on these two genera is accomplished. Similarly, the short-pectoral-fin species group of the genus Lampanyctus needs much more study in all oceans. It is hoped that flaws in the keys and data of this work will be remedied by subsequent workers, and that the present effort will be perfected and expanded to include the entire Pacific Ocean, and perhaps all oceans. This book was originally designated to be a technical report of the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office. Intensive work was begun in 1968, and a date in 1970 was set for publication. This markedly later date of appearance is due to delays on my part and to the Oceanographic Offices problems in preparing and scheduling the work for publication.
