Item type: Item , 20: Index - Pacific Science(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10)Item type: Item , Note. Dry-Wood Termite Attacks in a 55-Year-Old Display of Hawaii-Grown Wood(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Boone, R.S.Display racks built in 1909 to exhibit various woods grown in Hawaii provided some unique observations on dry-wood termite infections. Of 79 wood samples, including 76 species, 54 samples were not attacked. It is quite likely that this may be the only record of dry-wood termite resistance for many of these species.Item type: Item , Paper Electrophoresis Patterns of Sera from Seven Genera of Decapod Crustaceans(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Hughes, Lawrence D.; Winkler, Lindsay R.The pattern noted for the various families was simple, showing one major protein band and, in most cases, at least one minor one. Serum from crabs from the open coast always showed two bands, while those from the mud flats showed but one. Th is held even in Pachygrapsus, which is found in both habitats.Item type: Item , Notes.

Characteristics of the reaction products were compared with those of pure synthetic taranakite, using X-ray, chemical, optical, infrared absorption, and differential thermal techniques. The taranakite was essentially a potassium-aluminum-phosphate complex. There was no indication of isomorphous substitution of iron for aluminum. The molar ratios of K/P04 and Al/P04 of the reaction product were found to be 0.37 and 0.72 respectively. The taranakite was thought to be formed by precipitation of a soluble phospho-alumino complex anion together with potassium ions. The possibility is suggested of the formation of taranakite when soluble potassium and phosphate react with Hydrol Humic and Humic Latosols in the field. During the early stages of reaction, the reaction product is believed to be cryptocrystalline, but the size of crystals increases with time.Item type: Item , A Stem Gall on Muehlenbeckia australis (Forst. f.) Caused by the Moth Morova subfasciata Walk.(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Arnold, B.C.Item type: Item , Observations on Themeda australis- Eucalyptus Savannah in Papua(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Heyligers, P.C.Item type: Item , Body Temperatures of Malaysian Rain Forest Mammals(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Rudd, Robert L.Rectal temperatures of 23 species of Malaysian mammals were recorded during the course of an intensive mark-recapture program in rain forest. Repeated capture allowed repetitive readings for many individuals over several months. Individual variations and group comparisons are tabulated and discussed. Comparisons are made with body temperatures of arctic and temperate mammals. It was concluded that mean temperature for all tropical mammals described in this study was lower than in higher latitude forms, but that comparisons, to be meaningful, should be restricted to equivalent taxonomic groups.Item type: Item , Visual Target Discrimination in Blacktip Sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) and Grey Sharks (C. menisorrah)(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Tester, Albert L.; Kato, SusumuItem type: Item , An Investigation of the Palatability of Some Marine Invertebrates to Four Species of Fish(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Russell, EleanorItem type: Item , Notes on Occurrence of Young and Spawning of Scomberomorus sierra in the Eastern Pacific Ocean(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Klawe, W.L.Young of Scomberomorus sierra are briefly described and compared with young of other scombroids and some other related families. At sizes of 30-50 mm of total length young S. sierra can be distinguished from S. concolor on the basis of gill raker counts. From this study, based on the collection of larvae and juveniles of S. sierra, it is evident that this species spawns near the coast over most of its distributional limits. Spawning off Mexico takes place in July through September and in lower latitudes from perhaps December through April.Item type: Item , North American Harpacticoid Copepods, 8: The Danielssenia sibirica Group, with Description of D. stefanssoni Willey from Alaska(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Wilson, Mildred S.Item type: Item , New Monogenetic Trematodes from Hawaiian Fishes, II(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Yamaguti, SatyuItem type: Item , Comments on the Classification of the Percoid Fishes(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Gosline, William A.Item type: Item , Gill Arches of Teleostean Fishes of the Order Anguilliformes(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10) Nelson, Gareth J.Item type: Item , 20:4 Table of Contents - Pacific Science(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-10)
