NOTES 
247 
of each of the eighteen pages of mixed matter 
were photographed and etched, and printed by 
letterpress along with the rest of the issue. Verily, 
a tedious and time-consuming process! ... A 
request has been made from Washington that the 
January paper by Macdonald, Shepard, and Cox 
entitled “The Tsunami of April 1, 1946, in the 
Hawaiian Islands” be reprinted in the Annual 
Report of the Smithsonian Institution. This illus¬ 
trated “tidal wave” study has aroused wide in¬ 
terest, and the results are obviously of national 
importance. . . . Most of the Pacific Science 
papers appearing in 1946 are still available in 
separate reprint form, and individual copies of 
any previous article may be obtained free of charge 
by writing to the Office of Publications and Pub¬ 
licity, University of Hawaii, Honolulu 10, Hawaii. 
. . . As Pacific Science completes herewith its 
first year of publication, subscriptions are being 
received from many parts of the world, along with 
comments indicating that the journal is fulfilling 
a special need by publishing research papers deal¬ 
ing with the biological and physical sciences in the 
Pacific Area. Charter subscribers should now re¬ 
new the journal for the year 1948. . . . Dr. A. 
Grove Day, under whose direction as Editor-in- 
Chief Pacific Science was designed, inaugurated, 
and published for the past year, will return to his 
own teaching and research at the University of 
Hawaii after the current issue is printed. . . . The 
new editorial staff of the journal will consist of 
the following men: Dr. Leonard D. Tuthill of 
the Department of Zoology and Entomology, as 
Editor-in-Chief; Dr. O. A. Bushnell of the Depart¬ 
ment of Bacteriology, as Assistant Editor; and 
Thomas Nickerson, University Publications Edi¬ 
tor, as Managing Editor.
