SUGGESTIONS TO AUTHORS 
Contributions to Pacific biological and physical 
science will be welcomed from authors in all parts of 
the world. (The fields of anthropology, agriculture, 
engineering, and medicine are not included.) Manu- 
scripts 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 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. 
Manuscripts of any length may be submitted, but 
it is suggested that authors inquire concerning possi- 
bilities 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 
A lthough 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 herein and exemplified in the journal.
