NEWS NOTE 
Tenth Pacific Science Congress Papers 
The Tenth Pacific Science Congress of the Pacific Science Association was held 
on the campus of the University of Hawaii August 21 to September 6, 1961, under 
the joint auspices of the University, the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, and the 
National Academy of Sciences. 
The University of Hawaii Press is publishing seven volumes of the distinguished 
papers of the Congress, each volume dealing with a different subject as it applies to 
the conditions that prevail in the various countries of this vast and increasingly 
important segment of the world scene. The third and fourth volumes are: 
Pacific Entomology 
Report of the Standing Committee Chairman 
J. J. H. Szent-Ivany 
This volume is a survey of the extraordinary progress made in the study of 
insects of the Pacific area between 1958 and 1961, based on reports by Standing 
Committee members and published articles. 
The possibilities of the spread of harmful or potentially harmful insects have 
been greatly increased by recent rapid expansion of swift communication facilities. 
As a result of introduced pests and methods used to control them, the balance of 
nature has in some areas been seriously disturbed. 
The author not only treats thirty-seven countries and island groups in consid- 
erable detail, but gives a comprehensive picture of the entomological status in the 
area as a whole as he takes the reader on an orderly tour clockwise around the 
Pacific rim from Alaska to Japan. 
Dr. Szent-Ivany is senior entomologist in the Department of Agriculture, Stock 
and Fisheries of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea.

Physical Aspects of Light in the Sea 
A Symposium 
John E. Tyler, editor 
A dozen authorities from France, Japan, Sweden, and the United States describe 
and demonstrate, through detailed text and copious illustrations, techniques useful in 
the physical aspects of marine or fresh-water research. 
Described and illustrated with photographs, diagrams, charts, and detailed con- 
struction plans are an underwater observation vessel and its photographic equip- 
ment; apparatus for measuring water samples and determining turbidity; instruments 
for photography in the sea and for measuring the angular distribution of submarine 
daylight. 
In addition to the practical aspects of submarine light, theoretical calculations 
for light fields and for the scattering function of small particles are provided.
