Although Pholis laeta and P. ornata are generally recorded in the literature as being distributed between California and Asiatic waters, we could not find verifiable specimens or records of P. ornata from Alaskan or western Pacific waters. A population in northern Japan is distinguishable and described here as the new species Pholis nea. Differences between P. laeta and P. ornata are too small for recognition of separate genera. Pholis laeta, which ranges from California to at least the Commander Islands, U.S.S.R.; exhibits clinal pigmentary differences between British Columbia and southern Oregon. Morphologically, P. ornata is relatively uniform between populations except for the north–south cline of median counts (= dorsal and anal rays plus vertebrae) typical of many North Pacific fishes.

Three new species of the genus Dendronotus are described from the North Pacific waters of Japan and Russia. For the first time since 1949, three new species, D. jamsteci sp. nov., D. zakuro sp. nov. and D. bathyvela sp. nov. are described from the waters of the Japanese Islands. D. zakuro sp. nov. was also discovered in the waters of Russia (Kamchatka). The descriptions of the new species D. jamsteci sp. nov. and D. zakuro sp. nov. are based on morphological and molecular data; D. bathyvela sp. nov. morphologically belongs to the group of D. robustus, D. velifer and D. patricki. This study revises our knowledge of North Pacific species of the genus Dendronotus, considerably expands the number of species worldwide and contributes to the multilevel fine-scale diversity concept.

Lecithophyllum anteroporum n. sp. is described from Merluccius productus from British Columbia waters. Other hosts in the North Pacific are Oncorhynchus nerka and O. gorbuscha. The status of the genera Lecithophyllum Odhner, Aponurus Looss, and Brachadena Linton, and allocation of species within these genera are discussed. Keys to separate the three genera and the four species of Lecithophyllum are presented. Aponurus intermedius Manter is transferred to Lecithophyllum with L. fuscum Yamaguti as a synonym.

Palmaria hecatensis sp. nov. is described based on material from northern British Columbia. Male gametophytes and tetrasporophytes are thick, coriaceous, flattened blades, linear to lobed in habit and arise from an extensive encrusting basal holdfast. Putative female gametophytes are microscopic multicellular discs. Palmaria hecatensis grows on rocky shores in the midintertidal to lower intertidal zones and has a known geographical distribution from Nootka Island, Vancouver Island, B.C., to Shemya Island in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska. Palmaria hecatensis is compared with other species in the genus and, in addition, another distinctive (and possibly undescribed) Palmaria species from British Columbia and Alaska is discussed, bringing the total number of Palmaria species reported in the North Pacific Ocean to six.

A new species, Pholis clemensi, referred to the family Pholidae, is named and described from 12 specimens taken in southern British Columbia waters and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Pholis clemensi is compared with other members of the genus, and a key is given to the North American species.

The ammonite species Puzosia (Mesopuzosia) densicostata Matsumoto, Kitchinites (Neopuzosia) japonicus Spath, Anapachydiscus cf. A. nelchinensis Jones, Menuites cf. M. menu (Forbes), Submortoniceras chicoense (Trask), and Baculites cf. B. boulei Collignon are described from Santonian–Campanian strata of western Canada and northwestern United States. Stratigraphic occurrences and ranges of the species are summarized and those taxa important for correlation with other areas in the north Pacific region are noted.

Two new species of Cumella (Cumacea: Nannastacidae), C. oculata and C. alaskensis are described from shallow Alaskan rocky shores. The new species C. oculata can be distinguished from other North Pacific Cumella by the combination of a large eye lobe, no spines dorsally on the carapace, and carapace without large tubercles. The new species C. alaskensis can be distinguished from the other North Pacific Cumella by the 5 spines distributed unequally on the dorsal crest.
