Printed in the United States of America. dedication The 2008 issue of The Hawaiian Journal of History is dedicated to the memory of the late E. Alison Kay, Professor of Zoology Emerita, University of Hawai i at Mänoa. She served on the editorial board of the journal for 27 years beginning in 1976, contributed three articles and numerous book reviews to the journal, and served as the journal co-editor in 2003. She also served as president of the Hawaiian Historical Society in 1974 and 1975. Her distinguished career as a malacologist and her enthusiasm for history found common ground in her on-going study of the history of Hawai i s natural history. She was keenly interested in how the distinctive fauna and flora of Hawai i came to be explored and documented over the last two centuries and how these discoveries helped shape world-wide theories of biodiversity and evolution.
