DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Contribution to the Biology of the Philippine Archipelago and Adjacent Regions: Papers on Philippine Diatoms, Annelids, Hydroids, Echinoids, and Mollusks The Philippine Islands are very advantageously located with refer ence to the great ocean currents, the chief carriers of diatoms from one part of the world to another. The great northern and the south ern equatorial currents converge on the eastern and southern Shores of the Philippines and spread their waters about the island group. Other currents Skirt the islands of the East Indies, New Guinea, Celebes, and Borneo on their southern sides, Java on its north ern side, Sumatra and parts of the Malay Peninsula on their east ern sides; they then stream northward and northeastward to come to rest along the western coasts of the Philippines. The Sulu Sea is especially a focal center for many such currents, and represents one of the most complexly connected oceanographic localities known. On the other hand, the cold current from Bering Sea and the Arctic which flows southwest along the coasts of Kamchatka, Manchuria, and the eastern Side of Korea is here pushed back by a warm current moving up between Korea and Japan and fails to reach the Philip pines. It is quite evident that this great convergence of powerful ocean currents is largely responsible for the rich flora and fauna of the Philippine waters. Another thing helping to bring about this richness of marine life at the Philippines is the great range of 'depth of its waters. The east ern Shores lie adjacent to some of the most profound depths in the Pacific Ocean, one point just east of the northern end of Mindanao being the deepest sea abyss yet discovered, fathoms, or feet, or over 6 miles. On the other hand, the western side is Shallow and many of the channels between the islands are extremely so. Thus Manila Bay has an average depth of only 3 to 4 fathoms. This wide diversity of depth, with its attendant range in temperature, salinity, and light, must be responsible to no small degree for the diversity of life, including diatom life at the Philippines.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA chapter on Staphylinidae in a 1976 book on marine insects was the last general work on coastal rove beetles worldwide. Since then, phylogenetic studies on rove beetles have yielded a different perspective on that family, now with well over 50,000 species. Almost 400 species of them are now believed to be restricted to sea coasts. The detailed distribution and current classification of the coastal species are here documented in a review of the world literature accompanied by discussion and numerous color photographs of habitus and habitat.
