Others have expanded the group in various ways (e.g., Boulenger, 1904: 636). Most commonly, however, such expansion has extended only to the family Polynemidae (e.g., Regan, 1912: 846) or, in recent years, to the polynemid and phallostethoid fishes (e.g., Myers, 1935: 6).

Preliminary experiments took place in a concrete cylinder 8 ft in internal diameter and 5 ft high, in which were confined a variety of reef and semipelagic fish, the latter being important because of our need to anticipate difficulties to be expected with the truly pelagic tunas.

Their fossil record and morphological affinities have suggested a rather unusual history of late Cenozoic' dispersal and speciation, at least for the majority of Western Pacific species, which are discussed in a recent publication (Fleming, 1957). The most isolated of all Pacific scallops, recorded from the Hawaiian Islands as two new species, Pecten waikikius and P. diomedeus, by Dall, Bartsch, and Rehder (1938), were known only from left valves, and as a consequence their relationships have been difficult to interpret.

Two are of the Maori native dog, of which no other sketches are known. Three sketches show dogs of the Society Islands but do not portray them as clearly as in the views presented earlier (Luomala, 1960a) in this journal. However, they may be of general historical and anthropological interest. Also included is a sketch showing a native pig of the Society Islands.

The distribution of indigenous plants is a product of the genetic make-up of the successful invaders of a particular area and the total physical and biological environment of that area. Native plants have achieved a point in which their genetic constitution is in a certain degree of harmony with their environment. Plants in extreme latitudes, for example, have a genetic constitution which few, if any, tropical plants possess and so are able to withstand the low temperatures. The successful cultivation of economic plants is in even greater measure dependent upon the harmonious interaction of the plant's genes and its environment. One of the most important components of the plant's environment is climate.

S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the State of Hawaii, a water-budget study was used to estimate the quantity of ground water available for development. The effective use of this approach required a detailed knowledge of rainfall and runoff in the area being studied, especially in that part of it lying in the wet Koolau mountains, where most of the ground water is recharged. Past estimates for the rainfall-runoff relationship in this environment were rather speculative, and were based either on extrapolations from areas of lower rainfall or on experience obtained elsewhere. In the present study it became obvious that this relationship would have to be refined.
