These lens tissues were then used to absorb water and protein from extracts of nuclear tissue from these species. The quantity and type of absorption between the tunas were similar; between the tunas and squid, dissimilar. This indicates that nuclear lens tissue can be used to demonstrate both close and distant phylogenetic relationships.

The reproductive systems show a close similarity to that of Aplysia and lack of important anatomical differences show that Haloa and Lamprohaminoea are unnecessary genera. The mantle cavity, alimentary canal, and nervous system show the relationship of Haminoea to Atys and Smaragdinella.

All except T. vermimlus Shen (1955) and T. denticulatus Shen & Lee (1963) are listed in Jones and Park (1968). Two schemes have been proposed to subdivide the genus Tortanus. Steuer (1926) divided the eight species then known into three groups, without giving names to the groups. Sewell (1932) assigned the seven Indian Ocean species to two subgenera, Tortanus and Atortus. Sewell's subgenera correspond exactly to two of Steuer's groups, but Sewell made no mention of Steuer's classification, even though he listed Steuer's revision in his bibliography (Sewell, 1929).

Palythoa is a predator that feeds on zooplankton, particularly crustaceans. Of a vast array of items offered to Zoanthus in the laboratory, only small pieces of freshly killed or frozen fish elicited positive feeding responses. In natural situations Zoanthus has never been observed to feed. Palythoa polyps capture live prey with their tentacles and use these to hold the prey against the peristome. Very few nematocysts are discharged and they do not paralyze the prey. The behavioral response called "tentacle protrusion" allows the polyps to capture additional prey while ingesting one just caught. The optimum density of zooplankton, which causes the fastest response and largest capture, was found to be 200 Artemia per m^3. This represents approximately 10 times the zooplankton density calculated for the natural environment of Palythoa. After the food has been obtained, either by capture (Palythoa) or seizure of items (Zoanthus), both animals show the same complex and orderly series of steps which 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 tentacles first contracts, then rises up and turns inward, thereby folding tentacles and food toward the mouth; (2) Mouth opening. Upon contact with the food, the mouth 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.

F. Cheeseman (1903). A second comprehensive account appeared almost 30 years later (Wilder, 1931), and a less complete collection of ferns by Harold E. and Susan Thew Parks was reported on by Copeland (1931). Several other visitors to the island have collected ferns, Armstrong (date unknown), B. B. Given, and Mrs. Hynes each twice during the 1960s and Stoddart in 1969. The most recent collection is that made by one of us (W. R. Philipson, 1969) on the expedition organized by the Royal Society of New Zealand to commemorate Captain Cook's early explorations.

These were: shallow-water carbonates and detritus around the islands, calcareous oozes on bathymetric highs distant from shore, brown clay on the Hawaiian Arch, and siliceous ooze in the Hawaiian Deep and west of the island of Hawaii.

The vegetation was dominated by Carex montis-eeka and Deschampsia australis, along with lesser amounts of Oreobolus furcatus and the dwarf Vactinium pahalae. Despite its higher location, the area shares similarities with other Hawaiian bogs, except that it possesses a very simple flora. Lobelia and/or Argyroxiphium spp. may have once existed in the bog but could have been eliminated by past heavy grazing. The bog occupies a large saucer-shaped depression filled with acid peat. It is considered to have developed by the process of hydrarch plant succession rather than the usual site deterioration and plant retrogression.

Berger (in press) lists and reviews the literature and reports that the current total population of this species may be as small as 25 birds. This present paper describes the final example of use by crows of a traditional nesting ground on the lower northeast flank of the Hualalai volcano, Hawaii County, Hawaii, in 1964. A nest discovered under construction on March 26 was observed at intervals of 6 to 9 days, through April 26, when it failed; a single infertile egg remained from the original clutch of five and the crows were then in the process of abandoning the nest.
