The Hawaiian Archipelago has long been known to the scientific world as a peculiarly isolated island world with many extraordinary biological features. The remoteness ofthe group from continental areas, the exclusively volcanic nature of the mountains, the extreme specialization ofmany plant and animal forms-these and many other unique conditions have given particular interest o the biological problems of Hawaii (fig. I). It is the purpose of this paper to make a rapid survey of the prominent…
