SUGGESTIONS 
Contributions to Pacific biological and physi- 
cal science will be welcomed from authors in all 
parts of the world. (The fields of anthropology, 
agriculture, engineering, and medicine are not 
included. ) Manuscripts may be addressed to the 
Editor-in-Chief, PACIFIC SCIENCE, University 
of Hawaii, Honolulu 14, Hawaii, or to indi- 
vidual members of the Board of Editors. Use of 
air mail is recommended for all communications. 
Manuscripts will be acknowledged when re- 
ceived and will be read promptly by members of 
the Board of Editors or other competent critics. 
Authors will be notified of the decision reached 
as soon as possible. 
Manuscripts of any length may be submitted, 
but it is suggested that authors inquire concern- 
ing possibilities of publication of papers of over 
30 printed pages before sending their manu- 
TO AUTHORS 
script. Authors should not overlook the need for 
good brief papers, presenting results of studies, 
notes and queries, communications to the editor, 
or other commentary. 
Preparation of Manuscript 
Although no manuscript will be rejected 
merely because it does not conform to the style 
of Pacific Science, it is suggested that authors 
follow the style recommended below and exem- 
plified in the journal. 
Manuscript form. Manuscripts should be typed 
on one side of standard-size, white bond paper 
and double-spaced throughout. Pages should be 
consecutively numbered in upper right-hand 
corner. Sheets should not be fastened together 
in any way, and should be mailed flat. Inserts 
should be either typed on separate sheets or 
{Continued on inside hack cover)
