Dr. R. W. Hiatt said that the flora and fauna in the Pacific is ex- 

 ceedingly large that the life time of a generation would probably not 

 be enough to study them taxonomically. He suggested that the im- 

 portant plants and animals which characterized the different types of 

 zonation be recognized first rather than be lost in the bulk of animals 

 present in a particular region.
