ZOOLOGICAL MATERL\L 



Charles H. Edmondson, Zoologist, reports that in connection with his work at 

 Kahana Bay, Kawailoa and Waikiki, Oahu, he has collected 314 specimens of crus- 

 taceans, 100 specimens of worms, 25 specimens of echinoderms and a number of 

 coelenterates and fishes. 



Concerning material secured by three expeditions he writes as follows: 



"In February Stanley C. Ball, and I made a short trip to Molokai, during which 

 zoological material was collected on land and on the reef, including insects, lizards, 

 crustaceans, mollusks, and echinoderms. Among the 128 specimens of marine 

 crustaceans are some very rare forms and some new records for this part of the 

 Pacific. 



"Zoological collections in the Museum have been considerably increased during 

 the year as a result of an expedition to Palmyra Island by L. A. Thurston and 

 D. Thaanum of Honolulu. Approximately 190 specimens of crustaceans, some of 

 which are new species, about 100 specimens of echinoderms and 80 specimens of 

 fishes besides some specimens of lizards, worms, corals', mollusks, insects and spiders 

 are included in the material presented to the Museum. 



"During July and August Stanley C. Ball and I made a general biological sur- 

 vey of Fanning Island. A considerable amount of biological material, both plants and 

 animals, was collected on the land in the lagoon and on the outer reef. The animal 

 forms taken included birds, lizards, myriapods, earthworms, crustaceans, mollusks, 

 echinoderms, fishes, and a few other marine organisms. Approximately 800 speci- 

 mens of marine crustaceans, nearly 200 specimens of echinoderms and 1000 speci- 

 mens of shells of marine mollusks are included in the collections from Fanning 

 Island. 



"The lagoon at Fanning Island was dredged for bottom deposits, the material 

 of which has been submitted to Dr. J. A. Cushman for the determination of fora- 

 niinifera. Much tow material was taken from the surface waters' of the lagoon. 

 The microorganisms of this material have not \'et been determined." 



Zoological specimens have been collected by members of the Museum staff as 

 follows: Edwin H. Bryan, Jr., shell of green turtle (Chelone mydas) ; C. Montague 

 Cooke, Jr., 9 parasitic isopods (Cymothoa) from tongue of fish; C. Montague 

 Cooke, Jr., C. M. Cooke, III, and Henry W. Fowler, several fishes from Laie, 

 Oahu: Hawaiian Electric Company, nudibranch mollusk (Doris); J. F. Illing- 

 worth, skin of Rattns ratttis ; John F. G. Stokes, rats, lizards, scorpions, and coral 

 from Austral Islands'; O. H. Swezey, planarians from Moanalua Valley, Oahu;
