ItemPreliminary Soil Mineralogy Studies on Krasnozems in the Innisfail District of North Queensland, Australia(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-07)A preliminary investigation of four soil series of the Pin Gin family of krasnozem soils has confirmed the results of field observation on their history and has pointed to the diverse nature of their origins and weathering processes. The weathering pattern and origin can account for differences in their fertility in the virgin state.

ItemFoods of Rodents In the Hamakua District, Hawaii(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-07)The food habits of Rattus exulans, R. rattus, R. norvegicus, and Mus musculus captured in sugar cane fields, in gulches adjacent to cane fields, and in areas of human habitation, were determined from the stomach contents of 1205 rodents collected in 12 consecutive monthly samples. In cane fields the diet of R. exulans and R. rattus was primarily the internodes of sugar cane, while Mus fed principally on insects and grass seeds. In gulches R. exulans subsisted mainly on sugar cane, but R. rattus fed heavily on grass stalks and fruits. Mus from this habitat consumed kukui nuts and insects to a large extent, while the few R. norvegicus found here took a variety of foods. The foods of R. rattus and R. norvegicus captured near human habitations consisted mainly of garbage, other waste materials, and mixed livestock rations.

ItemA New Camallanid Nematode from Hawaii(University of Hawai'i Press, 1966-07)Spirocamallanus istiblenni n. sp. is described from the intestine of Istiblennius zebra, a tidepool fish at Oahu, Hawaii. Female worms average 21.5 mm long, and the adult female:male length ratio is 1.44:1.0. The chief diagnostic characters include a reduced posterior ovary, a male caudal papillae pattern of six preanal and three postanal, a spicule length ratio of 3:2, and an H-shaped arrangement of the anterior excretory canal system. The buccal capsule possesses 13-14 spiral thickenings. The possible evolutionary significance of the posterior ovary is mentioned; a list of other parasites of this host and ecological consideration s are included.
