Hawaiian Tuna Packers 
address: Hawaiian Tuna Packers, Ltd., P. O. 
Box 238, Honolulu, Hawaii. 
facilities: At the present time the company 
does not have facilities for scientific research, 
as this organization, primarily engaged in pro¬ 
cessing, is only slowly getting its activities back 
to a prewar basis of operation, and hopes to 
reach normal production by the latter part of 
1947. 
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory 
(Branch of Hawaii National Park collaborating 
with Hawaiian Volcano Research Association and 
the University of Hawaii) 
address: Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Ha¬ 
waii National Park, Hawaii. Volcanologist in 
charge: R. H. Finch. 
purpose: To maintain measurements and obser¬ 
vations on the active volcanoes Kilauea and 
Mauna Loa and to conduct research on the 
physics and chemistry of volcanoes by seismic, 
magnetic, or other available methods and to 
devise and test new methods. 
persons engaged in research: R. H. Finch, 
Volcanologist; Dr. H. A. Powers, Seismologist; 
B. J. Loucks, Instrument Maker; occasional 
visiting specialists. 
facilities : (1) Hawaii National Park Naturalist- 
Observatory Building (laboratories, seismo¬ 
graph vaults, instrument shop, darkroom). 
(2) University of Hawaii Kilauea Laboratory 
(separate laboratory and office buildings, mis¬ 
cellaneous instruments, collections, records, 
etc.). (3) Seismograph stations at other points 
on the island of Hawaii. 
opportunities for field research: Proximity 
to Kilauea Crater and accessibility of Mauna 
Loa. Opportunity for studies in petrology, areal 
geology, volcanic processes, and varied geo¬ 
physical measurements. 
library: Specialized collection of books, jour¬ 
nals, and reprints in volcanology and related 
subjects. (See also below, "Hawaiian Volcano 
Research Association, Library.”) 
publication series: Hawaiian Volcano Observa¬ 
tory Bulletin, 1912-1929, and Special Reports 
(both in collaboration with Hawaiian Volcano 
Research Association); Volcano Letter, 1925 to 
date (in collaboration with Hawaiian Volcano 
Research Association and University of Ha¬ 
waii). A number of publications by staff mem¬ 
bers have appeared in various scientific journals.

Research Association, Research Fellowships.” 
Research policy: Cordial collaboration; desk 
space and laboratory facilities afforded to visit¬ 
ing scientists. 
Hawaiian Volcano Research Association

Building, Honolulu, Hawaii; Scientific Direc¬ 
tor: Dr. T. A. Jaggar, University of Hawaii,

purpose: To sponsor research in physical pro¬ 
cesses of Hawaiian volcanoes. The Association

cano Observatory. 
persons engaged in research: (At University 
of Hawaii) Dr. T. A. Jaggar, Research Asso¬ 
ciate in Volcanology, and R. A. Okuda, Junior 
Researcher; (at Hawaii National Park) staff of 
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. 
facilities: (1) Kilauea Laboratory of the Uni¬ 
versity of Hawaii (instrument shop, collec¬ 
tions, files, instruments, maps, records, etc.); 
(2) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory at Hawaii 
National Park (see "Hawaiian Volcano Ob¬ 
servatory”); (3) Volcanology Laboratory, 
Room 2, Home Economics Building, University 
campus. 
library: (At Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, 
Hawaii National Park) Many volumes, record 
books, reprints, journals, maps, instrument de¬ 
signs, and seismograms. 
exhibits: (At Hawaii National Park) Volcanic 
specimens, photographs, models, and exhibition 
seismograph. 
publication series: See "Hawaiian Volcano 
Observatory.” 
research fellowships: The Directors will re¬ 
ceive applications at any time from research 
investigators holding doctorate degrees who de¬ 
sire to pursue specialized Hawaii studies in 
seismology, volcanology, and volcanological 
oceanography. Persons of advanced grade hold¬ 
ing fellowships from mainland colleges may be 
assisted in travel expense and provided with 
apparatus or use of facilities. Address inquiries 
to: Dr. T. A. Jaggar, Scientific Director, Uni¬ 
versity of Hawaii, Honolulu 10, Hawaii. 
research policy: To encourage highly skilled, 
specialized research on Hawaiian volcanology, 
seismology, and related phenomena. Desk space 
and laboratory facilities are offered to visiting 
scientists.
