The results indicate that the lake waters are generally low in ionic constituents and that these constituents are distributed uniformly with depth in the lakes. The concentrations of sodium and potassium in the lake waters indicate that these elements are derived principally by direct atmospheric transport of marine aerosols. Calcium, magnesium, and silica are enriched relative to sodium in the lake waters when compared with rainwater by leaching of the surrounding schist and graywackes in the sequence calcium > magnesium > silicon silica. SO4 2- is also enriched relative to sodium in the lake water compared with the precipitation samples.

Paracheilinus, which was not adequately defined when introduced by Fourmanoir, is a member of the labrid subfamily Cheilininae, which also includes Cheilinus, Cirrhilabrus, Pseudocheilinops, and Pseudocheilinus. It appears to be closely allied to Cirrhilabrus. The two genera are similar in body shape, dentition, and behavior. Paracheilinus filamentosus n.sp. differs from P. octotaenia Fourmanoir primarily on the basis of color pattern and shape of the head, dorsal fin, and caudal fin.

Similar characteristics include size, color pattern, and locomotory behavior on eelgrass blades. Both animals inhabit subtidal eelgrass beds, but the mimic is only 1.0-4.2 percent as common as the model. Predatory fish (Cottidae, Pholidae) from the eelgrass habitat rarely eat Lacuna or Stenopleustes (shown by fecal analysis) but will readily eat Stenopleustes if the mimic betrays its snail disguise by swimming. Only 8.8 percent of the Stenopleustes (which walks along eelgrass blades and seldom swims) were eaten, compared to 62.5-percent predation of a co-occurring nonmimetic gammarid amphipod (which often swims), in laboratory predator-prey experiments. These data suggest that the amphipod, by resembling a conspicuous and relatively inedible snail, enjoys a protective advantage from predation by fish in the eelgrass habitat.

Ancinus panamensis n. sp. is described from the Pacific coasts of Panama and Colombia and compared with A. brasiliensis Lemos de Castro from the Caribbean coasts of Panama and Costa Rica. The morphology and color polymorphism of the Panamanian species are illustrated in detail. Study of all known species in the genus indicated the existence of at least four and probably five distinct species in the New World. A key to these species is presented.

Field and laboratory studies have demonstrated an intimate parasite/host association involving the utilization of host corals as food and substrate by the parasite. Development of larvae is within the immediate host environment; consequently, infections are produced through direct infection. Various aspects of the biology, such as the developmental history, feeding habits, and parasite/host response to thermal environment, are reported. It is concluded that all aspects of the life history of this species show adaptations toward host specificity. This represents a rare example of true coral parasitism since most animals known to feed on coral tissues are considered to be facultative predators. The optimal thermal environment for the parasite appears to coincide with that of the coral host, a phenomenon which may tend to produce a seasonally stable parasite/host interaction. The parasite appears to become a serious coral pest only in disrupted systems such as artificial laboratory situations or in the polluted sections of Kaneohe Bay, Oahu.

Initial biochemical activity appears to weaken intercrystalline bonds, permitting detachment of crystals by mechanical abrasion and subsequent deposition of their fragments in spaces between corallite walls.

Mycorrhizal short roots were best developed at a depth of 5 to 15 cm. The average number of root hairs per centimeter of root length ranged from 80 to 120. The highest frequency of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae was found in the short roots with diameters of 1.4 to 2.0 mm. Typical vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae were found in the short roots of Camellia japonica L. Spores of Endogone occurred in the rhizosphere of mycorrhizal roots.

The barnacle fauna has Malaysian affinities, but there are no endemic species. Brief descriptions and notes on habitats are given. The effects of erosion on the shell are described for the common intertidal species. The distribution patterns of the common intertidal species, except for those of the coral-boring barnacles, are described; and from these the influence of environmental factors on barnacle distribution is inferred. By determining upper lethal temperatures, recording a few environmental temperatures, and comparing these with similar information on temperate barnacles and shores, I have concluded that high temperatures could be a deterrent to the existence of large numbers of barnacles on sun-exposed surfaces of tropical shores. In shaded conditions barnacles can, however, occupy most of the available surface. Tue, 01 Jan 1974 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/1146 1974-01-01T00:00:00Z Foster, BA
