ItemConsiderations Regarding the Evolution of Hawaiian Animals(University of Hawai'i Press, 1968-04)Interest in biotas of oceanic islands is of long standing. There are several reasons for the continuing interest. One is the possibility that insular evolution may in some respects represent a small-scale model of what has occurred on continents. Another is that, despite all the work on the subject, the "hows" and the "whys" of insular evolution remain inadequately answered. Finally, there is the realization that, with the rapid decimation of native insular habitats, it will soon be impossible to study many aspects of the subject (Hubbell, 1967).

ItemThe Occurrence of Cyclops kolensis Lilljeborg (Copepoda, Cyclopoida) in North America(University of Hawai'i Press, 1968-04)Cyclops kolensis was named by Lilljeborg in 1901; in the intervening 60 odd years, it has been infrequently reported in the literature. Kozminski (1933) noted that although C. kolensis is one of the most widely distributed species "in our region" it had been forgotten until recent years when he and Rzoska (1 930) independently mentioned it in revisions of certain groups of Cyclops.

ItemAn Account of the Species of the Red Alga Polysiphonia of the Central and Western Tropical Pacific Ocean: II. Polysiphonia(University of Hawai'i Press, 1968-04)Seven polysiphonous species are described. Three species are new: Polysiphonia dotyi, P. pentamera, and P. tsudana. P. howei proves to be a very widely distributed species. P. exilis and P. tepida were previously known from the tropical Atlantic Ocean. P. homoia was previously known from the Pacific coast of Mexico. Of the polysiphonous species of Polysiphonia represented by the present study, none are corticated.

ItemThe Littoral Sand Budget, Hawaiian Islands(University of Hawai'i Press, 1968-04)Profile surveys were made across 80 selected Hawaiian beach and nearshore environments at quarterly intervals for one and one-half years during 1962-63. Also 70 additional beaches were measured at less frequent intervals. Using these profiles, supplemented by water-jet borings and measurements from aerial photographs, the total sand volume of each of the major Hawaiian beach systems was computed. The seasonal fluctuations of these volumes were also computed and related to the wave and littoral current regimes. The volume of littoral sand was found to be considerably less than the volume for many sandy continental areas. About 4.0 X 10^7 cu yd of sand is held in beach reservoirs on the seven major island s of the Hawaiian group; most is concentrated on Kauai ( 1.4 X 10^7 cu yd) and on Oahu (1.0 X 10^7 cu yd). Individual beaches containing more than 1 X 10^6 cu yd are Keawanui on Niihau; Hanalei, Polihale-Barking Sands, and Kekaha-Nohili-Bonham on Kauai; Bellows-Waimanalo on Oahu; and Papohaku on Molokai. The beaches on the island of Hawaii hold the smallest volumes of sand. Seasonal rates of erosion and accretion of beach sand reservoirs were found to be generally on the order of a few tens of cubic yards of sand per linear yard of beach per month . The higher rates were on exposed north and west coasts, with a maximum rate of several hundred cubic yards of sand per linear yard of beach per month recorded for Lumahai Beach, Kauai during 1962-63.
