notations verbatim for a number of items that he 

 examined in Japan but could not bring back to 

 the POFI library. 



Papers are cited in alphabetical order by the 

 authors' names and in chronological order under 

 each author, and an abbreviated style has been 

 used, the volume immediately following the name 

 of the publication, the number next in parentheses, 

 and the pagination following a colon. Titles of 

 papers in European languages have been left in 

 their original form, but those of Japanese items 

 have been translated. A list is provided of full 

 forms of names of periodicals abbreviated in the 

 citations and of translations of names of Japanese 

 journals. The abbreviations of American and 

 European journal names follow the World List of 

 Scientific Periodicals, 1900-50. Translations of the 

 names of Japanese journals are given in brackets 

 if supplied by the compilers and in parentheses if 

 they appear, or have appeared in the past, on the 

 journal. Japanese journals which have well-known 

 and consistently used English names are cited by 

 them in the bibliography, and the Japanese equi- 

 valents are supplied in the list. Japanese names 

 were not abbreviated by the compilers, it being 

 impracticable to do so with their Romanized forms. 



A few names abbreviated in Chinese characters in 

 Japanese bibliographies have been cited as is, with 

 the compilers' best guess as to their full forms. 



A list of the major references and sources con- 

 sulted in the compilation follows at the end of this 

 introduction. In addition, reports and publications 

 of various marine laboratories, too numerous to 

 mention here, were checked. Often such publica- 

 tions are not indexed. In order to find out what 

 had been published in Russian reports, inquiry was 

 made of the Reference Department of the Library 

 of Congress, and catalogue cards were received for 

 those publications in the collection of the Library 

 of Congress. 



The compilers acknowledge gratefully the co- 

 operation of fhe library staffs of the University 

 of Hawaii, Pineapple Research Institute of Hawaii, 

 Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, and the 

 Bernice P. Bishop Museum in making their collec- 

 tions available. Invaluable assistance was given 

 also by staff members of the libraries of the Uni- 

 versity of California (Berkeley and Los Angeles) ; 

 Scripps Institution of Oceanography; and the Cen- 

 tral Library of the U. S. Department of the Interior, 

 in providing microfilm and photostatic copies of 

 many items in the bibliography.
