These lens tissueswere then used to absorb water and protein from extracts of nuclear tissue fromthese species. The quantity and type of absorption between the tunas were similar;between the tunas and squid, dissimilar. This indicates that nuclear lens tissue canbe used to demonstrate both close and distant phylogenetic relationships. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4291 Title: Some Aspects of the Anatomy, Reproduction, and Early Development of Cerithium nodulosum (Bruguiere) (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia)<br/><br/>Author(s): Houbrick, Joseph R http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4290 Title: On the Opisthobranch Genus Haminoea Turton & Kingston<br/><br/>Author(s): Rudman, WB<br/><br/>Abstract: A study was made of Haminoea zelandiae, H. solitaria, H. cymbalum,and H. crocata. The reproductive systems show a close similarity to that of Aplysiaand lack of important anatomical differences show that Haloa and Lamprohaminoeaare unnecessary genera. The mantle cavity, alimentary canal, and nervous systemshow the relationship of Haminoea to Atys and Smaragdinella. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4289 Title: Periclimenes attenuatus sp. nov. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Natantia, Pontoniinae), a New Commensal Shrimp from the Duke of York Islands<br/><br/>Author(s): Bruce, AJ<br/><br/>Abstract: Periclimenes attenuatus, a new species of pontoniid found in associationwith an unidentified crinoid from the Duke of York Islands, New Ireland,Bismarck Archipelago, is described and its morphology illustrated. The distinctivefeatures of the shrimp and its relationship to other species of the genus is discussed.The information available concerning pontoniid-crinoid associations is reviewedand tabulated. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4288 Title: Sunaristes (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) Associated with Hermit Crabs at Eniwetok Atoll<br/><br/>Author(s): Humes, Arthur G<br/><br/>Abstract: Sunaristes at Eniwetok differ only slightly from S. dardani Humesand Ho in Madagascar and are regarded as conspecific with that species.

Two schemeshave been proposed to subdivide the genus Tortanus.Steuer (1926) divided the eight speciesthen known into three groups, without givingnames to the groups. Sewell (1932) assignedthe seven Indian Ocean species to two subgenera,Tortanus and Atortus. Sewell's subgeneracorrespond exactly to two of Steuer'sgroups, but Sewell made no mention of Steuer'sclassification, even though he listed Steuer'srevision in his bibliography (Sewell, 1929). http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4286 Title: Feeding Behavior in the Hawaiian Zoanthids Palythoa and Zoanthus<br/><br/>Author(s): Reimer, Amada A<br/><br/>Abstract: Palythoa psammophilia Walsh & Bowers and Zoanthus pacificusWalsh & Bowers are two subtropical, subtidal zoanthids closely related phylogeneticallybut widely different in their feeding methods. Palythoa is a predator thatfeeds on zooplankton, particularly crustaceans. Of a vast array of items offered toZoanthus in the laboratory, only small pieces of freshly killed or frozen fish elicitedpositive feeding responses. In natural situations Zoanthus has never been observedto feed.Palythoa polyps capture live prey with their tentacles and use these to hold theprey against the peristome. Very few nematocysts are discharged and they do notparalyze the prey. The behavioral response called "tentacle protrusion" allows thepolyps to capture additional prey while ingesting one just caught. The optimumdensity of zooplankton, which causes the fastest response and largest capture, wasfound to be 200 Artemia per m^3. This represents approximately 10 times the zooplanktondensity calculated for the natural environment of Palythoa.After the food has been obtained, either by capture (Palythoa) or seizure ofitems (Zoanthus), both animals show the same complex and orderly series of stepswhich is called the feeding reaction and consists of the following: (1) Lip formation.A group of tentacles seizes the food, the edge of the disc carrying these tentaclesfirst contracts, then rises up and turns inward, thereby folding tentacles andfood toward the mouth; (2) Mouth opening. Upon contact with the food, themouth borders separate and the food is swallowed; and (3) Ingestion response.Food disappears in the coelenteron and the borders of the mouth close over it. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4285 Title: Pteridophyta of the Southern Cook Group<br/><br/>Author(s): Brownlie, G; Philipson, WR<br/><br/>Abstract: The fern flora of Rarotonga was exhaustivelycollected as long ago as 1899 by the New Zealandbotanist T. F. Cheeseman (1903). Asecond comprehensive account appeared almost30 years later (Wilder, 1931), and a less completecollection of ferns by Harold E. and SusanThew Parks was reported on by Copeland(1931). Several other visitors to the islandhave collected ferns, Armstrong (date unknown),B. B. Given, and Mrs. Hynes eachtwice during the 1960s and Stoddart in 1969.The most recent collection is that made by oneof us (W. R. Philipson, 1969) on the expeditionorganized by the Royal Society of NewZealand to commemorate Captain Cook's earlyexplorations. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4284 Title: Studies of Pacific Island Plants, XXII.
