SUGGESTIONS TO AUTHORS 
Contributions to Pacific biological and physical 
science will be welcomed from authors in all parts 
of the world. Manuscripts may be addressed to the 
Editor-in-Chief, PACIFIC SCIENCE, University of 
Hawaii, Honolulu 14, Hawaii, or to individual 
members of the Board of Editors. Use of air mail 
for sending correspondence and brief manuscripts 
from distant points is recommended. 
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 concerning 
possibilities *of publication of papers of over 30 
printed pages before sending their manuscript. 
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 exemplified 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 con- 
secutively 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 pasted on proper page, 
and point of insertion should be clearly indicated. 
Original copy and one carbon copy of manuscript 
should be submitted. The author should retain a 
carbon copy. Although due care will be taken, the 
editors cannot be responsible for loss of manu- 
scripts. 
Introduction and summary. It is desirable to state
