Soils on these two surfaces have fine-grained textures and well-developed structural characteristics. The plasma of these soils is isotropic in thin section. Differences in color and in the kinds of clay minerals present in these two soils are attributed to the drainage conditions of the underlying material. The lower two of the four fan surfaces have soils developed mainly from alluvium. Some soil profiles on the older of these two surfaces are partially derived from reworked volcanic ash. The alluvial soils are coarser grained and shallower than the volcanic ash soils. The plasma of the alluvial soils exhibits increasing birefringence with decreasing amounts of volcanic ash. The soil pattern proved useful in interpreting aspects of the geomorphic history of the study area.

The present study of the alga in three Philippine areas attempts to clarify its taxonomic relationships and presents ecological data dealing with its depth distributions, substrata preferences, standing crops, and community associations. A new variety, E. arnoldii var. alcyonida, is described, and the previously described taxa E. cupressoideum Weber-van Bosse and E. cupressoidett1n var. verticillata Yamada are placed in synonomy with E. arnoldii var. arnoldii. Possible lines of more detailed, future research on this species are suggested.

Depth of capture or observations and other data are given for 47 species of fishes and 20 species of decapod Crustacea. Of these species, 10 fishes and five crustaceans are either undescribed or new records for Hawaii. Four other fishes collected and several others observed from the submarine are probably undescribed or unrecorded species. A large proportion of both the total number of species collected and of the new forms were taken by gill net. The gill nets are able to sample steep, rocky bottoms and obtain types of organisms inaccessible to other types of gear, particularly bottom trawls.

The hydromedusae Obelia geniculata and Phialella quadrata and the ctenophore Plettrobrachia pileus did not occur when sea temperatures fell below 7° C. However, Bougainvillia macloviana was present throughout the year. Larvae of decapod crustaceans were released immediately after sea surface temperatures began to rise from their winter minima. Spring samples were dominated by decapod crustacean larvae, but in 1967 abnormally low sea surface temperatures were recorded and few decapod crustacean larvae were collected. Hermit crabs released more larvae in both spring and autumn. Other crabs released most larvae in spring. Perseverance Harbour has a typical inlet plankton and is influenced by both New Zealand and circumpolar subantarctic faunas. The seasonal cycles are typical of temperate rather than Antarctic waters.

The female appears to have been brooding the larvae in a large chamber formed by the oral arms and web. This finding supports the likelihood that the brooding habit is universal in pelagic incirrate octopods.

The following taxonomic revision is suggested: P. taronga (Allan, 1933) = Chelidonttra aureopunctata Rudman, 1968; Philinopsis cyanea (Martens, 1879) = Doridium capense Bergh, 1907 = Aglaja iwasai Hirase, 1936; and Philinopsis gardineri (Eliot, 1903) = Chelidonura velutina Bergh, 1905, in part. It is also suggested that two senior synonyms of Philinopsis pilsbryi (Eliot, 1900), P. nigra Pease, 1860, and Doridium alboventralis Bergh, 1897, should be considered nomina oblita under Article 23 (b) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The reproductive system in which the spermoviduct is unbranched and does not open into the albumen gland is a major characteristic of the genus.

The island covers 214 acres, of which 144 are vegetated, and all vegetated areas are utilized by the rat. Other vertebrates on the island and its shores include 14 species of breeding seabirds and the Hawaiian monk seal. Usual predators of rodents are absent and seasonal climatic fluctuations are slight. Juveniles are weaned and leave the nest at 2 to 3 weeks. A prolonged maturational molt occurs between the ages of 4 and 9 weeks. Most young, or nonbreeding, adults overwinter before attaining sexual maturity. Once sexual maturity is attained males remain fertile throughout the year. Reproduction is seasonal, most litters being produced from May through August and none from September through December. Mean litter size is four, and usually only one litter is produced per female per year for a mean of 4.77 young per mature female annually. About 360 young were produced on a 6.94-acre study area in one breeding season. The only ectoparasites recorded are the louse Hoplopleura pacifica and the mites Laelaps nuttalli and L. echidninus. Approximately 62 percent of the diet on Kure is composed of plant material, 30 percent of insects, and 8 percent of vertebrate flesh. Breeding males move significantly greater distances between captures and have significantly larger home ranges than breeding females. The size of the home range of breeding adults is not affected by density fluctuations or reproductive activity. Mean population density for the period studied is 45 rats per acre, or 6,480 individuals for the entire island, and density fluctuated from lows of 30 per acre in March of both years to a high of 75 per acre, about 10,800 on the island, in September 1964. Mean adrenal weight in subadult and adult animals is correlated with density, and also with reproductive activity in breeding adults. Mean body weight and extent of subcutaneous and mesenteric fat deposits are significantly reduced during the winter. Seasonal reproduction results in high population densities by early winter. Sharp declines in density are observed during the winter and early summer, in association with increased mean adrenal gland weight in early winter and decreased mean body weight and fat deposition in late winter and early summer. Because of the absence of predators and the apparent absence of epidemic disease it is suggested that population regulation is achieved chiefly through the interaction of density with available food resources; and with that portion of the population which cannot obtain sufficient food and/or shelter being eliminated during the winter to reduce numbers to a favorable balance with resources by early summer, at which time reproduction is again initiated among the surviving individuals.
