FOREWORD At the Seventh Pacific Science Congress held in New Zealand in February, 1949, the Division of Public Health and Nutrition offered a specific recommendation, which was approved by the Congress, that "an annotated bibliography of published papers relating to food analyses and diet studies in the Pacific Islands be prepared and published." To carry forward this project, I outlined a plan which was sent to others in the Pacific area for comment and approval. This plan suggested geographic areas to be covered, the type of material to be included, and the style or form for the references and annotations. It was agreed that the geographic area to be covered in t h e bibliography would b e t h e islands of the Pacific. Australia, as a subcontinent, would be excluded except for publications referring to the foods and to the nutritional status of the aborigines. Japan, Formosa, the Bonins, and Ryuku Islands would also be excluded because they have extensive publications and a bibliography covering the prewar work in Japanese should be a separate publication. The United States mainland would also be excluded. The subject matter is to include publications of all types relating to: 1. Chemical composition—proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, proteins, amino acids and/or other nutrients. 2. Dietary studies—types and quantities of food consumed by different groups (human and/or animal) under different conditions.

List of foods with descriptions, methods of preparation, and extent of use. The bibliography for Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and the Trust Territory covering these subjects has been prepared by Captain Robert J. Fanning, Dental Corps, United States Army, under my direction. The aim has been to include all publications covering the above list of subjects through June, 1950. It will be appreciated if omissions from this bibliography are called to our attention in order that they may be included in future editions or supplements. It is gratifying that this portion of the bibliography is being published by the University of Hawaii Press, thus making it available to all interested persons. It is hoped that sections from other geographic areas will soon be published in Hawaii or in the countries where compilations are being made.

Consists of three parts: (1) appraisal of nutritional status of native population groups; (2) estimation of nutritive value of native dietary; (3) recommendations for improving nutritional status of natives. Physical examinations were limited to observations of some manifestations of nutritional deficiency diseases. Individual weights were not obtained. Attempts to obtain dietary histories proved impossible, principally because of language difficulties. Only dietary patterns were considered to determine foods available, foods eaten, and foods required. No laboratory procedures were carried out because of lack of space for suitable equipment. Alvarez, Walter C. When What You Eat Doesn't Agree with You Northwestern Miller, 1938, 15(38): 15 Taro, a mealy bulbous root larger than a potato, is a boon to food-sensitive persons.

Dig. Dis., 1939, 5(12): 801-803 It is difficult to maintain good nutrition in persons sensitive to many foods. Taro is so different botanically from any American food that it should be acceptable to many highly allergic people. Anonymous The Composition of Some Chinese Foods Univ. Hawaii Occas.

Primary object of taro processing investigations was to make possible commercial production of non-perishable and palatable foods which would retain full nutritional value of taro and poi. This was achieved. Anonymous Teeth Plantation Health Bui., 1937, 2(1): 5-7 Emphasizes observation that bad teeth are indication of dietary fault.

Anonymous The United States Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands: a Handbook for Use in Training and Administration, 1946. 230 pp. Vol. n , Chapters V-XVH. Patterns of food consumption vary considerably from place to place. In general, however, practically all islanders continue to depend predominently upon locally produced foods, especially root and fruits crops, and fish. They also have become somewhat accustomed to a considerable range of foods purchased from the trade store. Appleton, Vivia B. Growth of Chinese Children in Hawaii and in China Amer. J. Phys.

If satisfactory economic crops a r e to be produced indefinitely on such soils, a knowledge of those properties of the soils closely related to their productivity is essential. Accordingly, a study was made to determine following properties of the soils: exchangeable and total bases, base-exchange capacities (mineral and organic fractions), pH, ultimate pH, organic matter, nitrogen, and derived data.

Basic item in diet is a starchy f r u i t or vegetable. No meal is considered complete without sali, a t e r m used to indicate a protein dish of meat, fowl, fish, or other seafood. Fruit and, to a l e s s e r extent, green vegetables supplement this diet. Breadfruit and yams a r e most important s t a r c h foods.

Ferguson, R.A. Dental Survey of School Children of American Samoa J. Amer. Dent. Assoc., 1934, 21: 534 2257 school children were examined for dental conditions. Despite total lack of oral hygiene, the Samoan is remarkably free from dental caries if left in his native environment. His susceptibility is markedly increased in presence of altered diet and miscegenation. Some influences of civilization seem to be destroying or reducing this immunity in younger generation. Total number of teeth examined were 58,478 of which 491, or 0.84%, were carious. Per cent of carious teeth among those presenting cavities was 2.14 teeth per pupil.

Age appears to be a factor. Teeth of many adolescent children and adults have remained f r e e from decay, while those of young children in the family have undergone rampant disintegration, even though diets of all and external factors have been comparable. Activity of decay process is in state of flux in the individual and appears to be directly related to his metabolism.

Critical Study of Investigations in Hawaiian Islands J. Amer. Dent.

Would it be possible to duplicate results elsewhere? Does a warm climate produce "acidatic constitution" in the individual, making necessary high alkaline diet to produce optimum wellbeing? If injurious effect of consumption of grain foods in the tropics is result of combination of "acidatic constitution" of the individual with potential acidity of ingested food, to what a r e we to attribute its injurious effect in the arctic? King, Captain James A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, Vol. HI (Captain Cook's Third Voyage) London: W. & A. Strahan, 1784. 558 pp. There are frequent references to native agriculture and foods. For example, taro, and the poi made from it, constituted the staff of life of the Hawaiians at the time of Captain Cook's discovery in 1778. The diet is described as follows: "The food of the lower class of people consists principally of fish and vegetables, such as yams, sweet potatoes, taro, plantains, sugar canes, and breadfruit. To these, the people of higher rank add the flesh of hogs and dogs, dressed in the same manner as at the Society Islands."

Observations in Hawaii tend to verify the role of aciduric bacteria as an index of decay immunity and to indicate that oxalates and fluorides, as well as the alkaline r e s i due food values in the Hawaiian diet, might account for decay resistance in certain groups. Author believes these factors are more important in preventing decay than climate, heredity, cleanliness of the teeth, or specific food factors, including sugar.

The calcium of taro was nine-tenths as readily utilized by young rats as was that of Ca(H2PC>4)2.H20 of the control diet. Taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a Food J. Amer. Dietetic Assoc., 1940, 16: 536-540 More intensive use of taro is being urged in Hawaii because of its capacity for correcting specific local dietary deficiencies. Increased production and use of taro would tend to decrease amount of imported refined foods used and increase calcium and vitamin Bj contents of deficient diets. Greater taro production would also aid in making the Islands nutritionally self-sustaining. The Utilization of the Ca and P of Taro by Young Women J. Amer.

A Contribution to Samoan Somatology Bernice P. Bishop Mus. Mem., 1921, VIII(2): 81-98 On basis of analysis of Samoan characteristics, author regards the Samoan as most closely allied to Mongoloid race, and assumes that differences are probably due either to slightly different evolution since time of separation and isolation from the parental stock, or to retention in the Samoans of a primitive character which through different evolutionary processes has been lost in most Mongoloid types. Thinks it unlikely that differences are due to racial intermixture. Believes it is far more difficult to reconcile European social origin for Samoans, and Polynesians in general, than it is to assume Mongoloid affinities and origins.

WESTER VELT - WISSLER • 53 T h r u m ' s Hawaiian Annual, 1913: 148-149 The use of algarroba or mesquite beans as a starch food is discussed. Composition is such that it can be used extensively as substitute for rolled barley. Wilder, Gerrit P. Fruits of the Hawaiian Islands Honolulu: Hawaiian Gazette Co., 1911. 274 pp., 121 illus. Botanical descriptions of 121 f r u i t s . The Taro, or Kalo, in Hawaii Extension Division, Univ. Hawaii, 1923. 8 pp. (Mimeographed) For more than a century before discovery of the Islands, Hawaiians had under cultivation some 200 v a r i e ties of wet-land and dry-land taro. Cultivation of r a r e r varieties has gradually decreased year by year, however, and average Hawaiian of today knows little about any varieties excepting those grown for commercial purposes. Reason is that about 1870 the Chinese entered into competition with the Hawaiians and began growing taro on a large scale, always selecting varieties that produced heavily and matured early. Winblad, F r i t s A.S. Dental Survey in the Marshall Islands U.S. Naval Med. Bui., 1944, 43: 1141-1144 Survey of dental conditions of natives on Majuro Island was undertaken in March 1944. How typical of the M a r shallese this group of 260 natives of all ages is, only further investigation will show. Impossible to say whether inferences as to possibility of "band" type of c a r i e s being peculiar to this group of people a r e warranted, but conditions found invite f u r t h e r investigation.
