APPENDIX 



Because it is necessary to compare the spear- 

 nshes of the world by means of measurements, our 

 original data and some computations are presented 

 here. The original observations were obtained by 

 members of the POFI scientific staff in addition 

 to their regular observations on tunas. These 



members were: Donald K. F. Ching, Thomas S. 

 Hida, Isaac I. Ikehara, Edwin S. Iversen, Joseph 

 E. King, Walter M. Matsumoto, Sueto Murai, 

 Garth I. Murphy, Tamio Otsu, Thomas J. 

 Roseberry, William F. Royce, Richard S. Shomura, 

 Wilvan G. Van Campen, and Henny S. H. Yuen.
