These introduced forest dwelling pheasants are sympatric with both endangered endemic birds and mosquitoes, which are known vectors of avian malaria. No blood parasites were found in any of the 44 Kalij pheasants examined. An eyeworm, Oxyspirura sp., was found in two birds . One pheasant was infested with a body louse Amyrsidea monostoecha, and a feather louse Lagopoecus colchicus was found on two birds. The latter represents a new host record Sat, 01 Jan 1983 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/647 1983-01-01T00:00:00Z Lewin, Victor; Mahrt, Jerome L http://hdl.handle.net/10125/646 An apparent case of Batesian mimicry involving the cardinalfish Fowleria sp. and the venomous scorpionfish Scorpaenodes guamensis is described . Classical definitions of Batesian systems require that the mimic be less common than the model. The present data do not suggest a classical Batesian mimetic system. However, if the model is considered to be the generalized scorpaenid morph characteristic of S. guamensis and other Philippine scorpaenids, then the mimetic association between Fowleria sp. and S corpaenodes guamensis is a classical Batesian system.

That species differs from T. florealis in having smaller eye diameter, shorter caudal peduncle length, usuall!, lower. fin ray counts, and different color pattern. Torquigener randalli n.sp. is descnbed .from six specimens from Oahu, Hawaii, differing from the similar T.jiorealis In shape of dorsal and anal fins, a usually lower dorsal and anal fin ray count, and in color pattern.

The type-species, S. herrei Herald (Red Sea and western Pacific ) and S. southwelli (Duncker), from Sri Lanka and the Philippine Islands, have long slender snouts, but they differ in numbers of trunk ring s (respectively, 12-14 versus 8) and in other meristic and morphological features. Two species, S. bentuviai Clark (Red Sea, Gulf of Aden) and S. nigrolineatu s n.sp. (Moluccas and Philippines) have short snouts but differ in number of total rings (respectively, 61-65 versus 67-69), shape of the snout, and life coloration. The remaining species, S. breviceps Smith (Mozambique and western Pacific), is characterized by its intermediate snout length and by other proportional and meristic features. These marine fishes are small (to ca . 80 mm SL), some occur in surface waters (usually as subadults), and demersal adults are known to depth s of 20 m. Two species (S. bentuviai and S. nigrolineatus) are apparently commensal with corals.

The large number and size of the nematodes caused a conspicuous protrusion of the abdomen in both fish. Other infected specimens of C. jactator were observed in the water s of Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii.

Collections of limpets were made at eight localities spanning 27 degrees of latitude. Shell length measurements were analyzed to establish growth constants and these constants were related to environmental temperatures. The most southerly population showed a marked reduction in growth rate . Growth rates at the tropical and warm temperate locations form a sequence in which the growth constants (relative to temperature) of the tropical species change more markedly than do those of the temperate species.

Three species, Cypraea gaskoini, C. cicercula, and C. scurra, were found only in the reef face stud y site, and two species, C. poraria and C. caputserpentis, were found only in the reef top study site. Active individuals of all species were distributed nonrandomly with respect to substrate type. For reef face species the distribution of individuals appeared to be related to diet , with sponge the major dietary component of each of four reef face species. One cowrie was found to be prey specific for one species of sponge , and the distribution of C. gaskoini appeared to be dependent on the distribution of its prey sponge.

Fifty-three structural-floristic communities, which were grouped into four structural vegetation types, were mapped. Areas were calculated for each community using an electronic planimeter. Topographic vegetation profiles were constructed that show changes in vegetation types in relation to climatic gradients. Correlations were observed between certain substrates and community types. Phytosociological analysis of releve data by the synthesis table technique and the dendrograph technique resulted in ecologically meaningful groupings of the sample stands.
