39Dating of the "Proceedings of the HawaiianEntomological Sodety"(1906-1993)NEAL L. EVENHUISHawaii Biological Survey, Bishop Museum. P.O. Box 19000, Honolulu. Hawai'i 96817, USAABSTRACT. This paper gives details and dales of the printing, mailing, and issue of theissues and volumes of the Pmceedings ofthe Hawaiian Entomological Society from 1906to 1993, inclusive. Some dating evidence necessitates different years of publication forsome of the issues, which may result in changes in previously recognized priority of original publication of laxonomic names.The Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society has been one of the mostimportant journals of entomology since its inception in 1906. Many cases of insect introduction and control are outlined and many new taxa have been described on its pages. Increating databases of both Diptera of Australasia and Oceania and the terrestrial arthropods of Hawaii, many anomalies of publication of the Pmceedings have come to theattention of this author. An attempt was made to ascertain correct dates of publication forthose issues that only have the month printed on the issue or volume cover by obtainingdates of receipt at various libraries in and around Honolulu. During a previous exercise inobtaining dates for journals (Evenhuis ct al. 1989), it was discovered that some librarieswere inconsistent in stamping dates of receipt on journals they received (or completelyfailed to do so in some cases), thereby making dating of those journals just that muchmore difficult. After obtaining as many receipt dates for the Pmceedings as possible fromlibraries and personal sets, I consulted the archival material of the Hawaiian Entomological Society deposited in the Bishop Museum Archives and Library. Evidence thereof printing dates, mailing dates by the Society, and receipt dates of issues sent from theprinter give the best evidence in support of the dating of the various issues and volumesof the Pmceedings outlined below in Table 3 and corroborate library receipt dates as beingthe earliest actual dale of publication in some cases.A number of different printers were used for the Proceedings (Table 1). Who printed what issue plays a very important part in determining actual publication dates. For twoissues in volume 1 of the Proceedings, the printer, Spahr & Glenn, was located in Ohio.This resulted in a rather long period of time between the finishing of printing of an issueand the date of receipt of the shipment at the docks in Honolulu (and, in fact, was the reason the Society decided to go with a printer more close to home in subsequent issues).Volume 1, issue 2 is the December issue of the Pmceedings for 1906 and carries the date"1 December 1906". This is, in fact, not the publication date of the issue, but the date ofprinting. After printing, completed copies for distribution of that particular issue were sentTable 1.

HI40 Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society Vol. 32in December by train from Ohio to Honolulu. The train with the Proceedings arrived inSan Francisco on 1 January 1907. The copies of the Proceedings were then loaded onto aMatson ship, which arrived in Honolulu on 17 January 1907. Thus, the date of publication cannot be any earlier than 17 January 1907, which changes the year of publication forall new taxa described in that issue. Conversely, printers within the city in some cases finished printing an issue the day before it was stamped as received by a local library.Table 2.

BeardsleyM.W. JohnsonThe dates of publication primed in some of the issues cannot always be taken as theactual date of publication for a number of reasons. Often, the issues were sent to the editor of the Proceedings (for list of editors, see Table 2) or the secretary of the Society who,in some cases were on vacation, out of town on business, or in the field for extended periods of time. In these cases, after their arrival, the packages of Proceedings would sitawaiting someone to open them up and distribute them, which might have been monthsafter the date printed in the issue. In other cases, issues of the Proceedings were stampedas received by libraries earlier than the printed date in the issue. It is for these reasons thatreaders should take caution when citing actual dates of publication of the Proceedings. Ipropose that the dates given in Table 3 be taken as the most accurate dates of publicationfor the Proceedings until such time as further evidence updates this list.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSI am grateful to all those who have helped with the compilation of the data presented here.
