As noted in Dr. Manning's memorandum, the mo.e than 83,000
specimens sent to outside specialists in 1962 under the ONR-AEC
contracts represented nearly all of our unidentified invertebrates
from the entire tropical Pacific area prior to 1946, as well as
the unidentified "Crossroads" and Bikini Resurvey collections.
This action was justified by the likelihood that the release of
fission products at Bikini could affect the entire Indo- Pacific

fauna and that reliably identified material from throughout the

region was a necessary prelude to any studies of faunal changes
that might ensue. No formal reports on the collections Were
demanded of the participants in this program, but several are
represented in the following list of publications based at least -.
in part on these and earlier studies on the Bikini collections,

and others are in preparation.
