the world. (The fields of anthropology, agriculture,

scripts may be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief, 
PACIFIC SCIENCE, University of Hawaii, Honolulu

of Editors. Use of air mail is recommended for all 
communications. 
Manuscripts will be acknowledged when received 
and will be read promptly by members of the Board 
of Editors or other competent critics. Authors will be 
notified as soon as possible of the decision reached.

bilities of publication of papers of over 30 printed 
pages before sending their manuscripts. Authors 
should not overlook the need for good brief papers, 
presenting results of studies, notes and queries, com- 
munications to the editor, or other commentary.

Pacific Science described herein and exemplified in the
