Generalized Titanomagnetite in Hawaiian Volcanic Rocks

Katsura, Takashi (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

A ferromagnetic oxide mineral with spinel structure was separated from Hawaiian volcanic rocks ranging from basalt to trachyte. The chemical compositions of all the specimens have been arranged on an oxygen reaction line, ...
Identification of Leptocephalus acuticeps Regan as the Larva of the Eel Genus Avocettina

Orton, Grace L (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

Regan (1916: 140, pI. 7, fig. 5) based the description of a distinctive new eel larva, Leptocephalus acuticeps, on a single 47-mm specimen from the South Atlantic. He did not attempt to allocate this larva within the ...
New Records of New Caledonian Nonmarine Mollusks and an Analysis of the Introduced Mollusks

Solem, Alan (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

The illustrated handbook of New Caledonian nonmarine mollusks issued by Franc (1957) has been supplemented by an annotated check list (Solem, 1961). Additional records are given by Solem (1960), and material collected by ...
Nonmarine Mollusks of Rongelap Atoll, Marshall Islands

Reigle, Norman J (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

It has long been realized that the coral atolls and low islands of the Pacific possess a meager, limited, and characteristic snail fauna which are of little zoogeographical value (Pilsbry; 1900, 1916, Cooke; 1926). ...
Occurrence of Two Species of Young Threadfin, Polydactylus opercularis and P. approximans, in the Offshore Waters of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean

Klawe, WL; Alverson, FG (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)
The Origin and Affinity of the Biota of the Kodiak Island Group, Alaska

Vincent, Robert E (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

Kodiak Island occupies an important biogeographical position. Situated along the northwestern border of the Gulf of Alaska, this island and its neighboring lesser islands have biogeographic relationships that radiate ...
Polydora and Related Genera (Annelida, Polychaeta) from Eniwetok, Majuro, and Bikini Atolls, Marshall Islands

Woodwick, Keith H (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

In a study of more than 250 specimens of spionid polychaetes collected at Eniwetok, Majuro, and Bikini atolls, Marshall Islands (1956 and 1957) five new and two known species were found. One of the species (T. spinosa) ...
Postlarval Scombroid Fishes of the Genera Acanthocybium, Nealotus, and Diplospinus from the Central Pacific Ocean

Strasburg, Donald W (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

Exclusive of the mackerels and tunas, whose commercial importance has caused them to be studied extensively, the early life history of scombroid fishes is poorly known. This is particularly true of the families Gempylidae ...
Recent Observations on Neck Extensions in Folliculinids (Protozoa)

Matthews, Donald C (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

Despite species variations , the process of folliculinid lorica formation is fundamentally similar (Penard, 1919; Andrews, 1923; Faure-Fremiet, 1932; Dewey, 1939; and Das, 1947). In all a motile, nonfeeding stage becomes ...

Bolbella californica Allgen, 1951 (Enchelidiidae: Nematoda), the southern California species of the genus, is redescribed. A limited analysis based on 79 specimens is made of its intraspecific variation. As redescribed, ...
Reproduction in the Aggregating Sea Anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima

Ford, Charles E Jr (University of Hawai'i Press, 1964-04)

From a sample of 240 specimens of the aggregating sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima, collected a few miles north of the Golden Gate, males and females were shown to be distributed as unisexual aggregations on the ...
