RODGERS, K.A., I.A.W. MCALLAN, C. CANTRELL & B.J. PONWITH. 1992. Rose Atoll: an annotated bibliography. Technical Reports of the Australian Museum 9: 1-37. Rose Atoll lies at the extreme eastern end of the Samoan island volcanic chain (14'32's 168\"08'W), 240 km east-south-east of Pago Pago Harbor (Fig.1). It is of a roughly square shape. The fringing reef and lagoon together cover just 640 ha making it one of the smallest atolls in the world. The fetch of the lagoon is about 2 km and the maximum depth about 20 m. The coralline algal reef has a uniform, 500 m width and is largely submerged at low tide. A single channel in the north-east, 1.8-15 m deep, links the lagoon to the sea. The atoll is one of the least disturbed areas of the world. Its benthic community is unique in Samoa, being dominated by encrusting coralline algae, and having a relative abundance of soft corals with a comparable impoverishment in hard species (Itano, 1987, cited in United Nations Environment Programme, 1988). The atoll has been established as a National Wildlife Refuge since 5 July 1973, and annual resource surveys are carried out by US Fish and Wildlife Service and American Samoan Government personnel. These include both the lagoon and outer reef as well as the islets, thus affording an invaluable scientific baseline for biological and geological studies of low Pacific islands. Excellent summary reviews of the history and natural history of the atoll are given by Setchell (1924) and Sachet (1954). A highly detailed, up-to-date account of the terrestrial biology is contained in Amerson et al. (1982a,b). 2 Technical Reports of the Australian Museum (1993) Geological and Biological Notes The Samoan Islands are part of a chain of searnounts, shallow banks and drowned atolls which extend 1700 km to the north-west. All are volcanic in origin and lie in a line with the correct orientation to have been generated by the present motion of the Pacific plate over a fixed hot spot (Natland, 1980; Menard, 1986). Both the size of the islands, and the proportion of them covered by Quaternary lava flows, increases to the west, in contrast to the Hawaiian, Society, and Marquesas chains. In these lineaments, submerged volcanic mounds, both drowned and capped by atoll reefs, occur at the western end, but in the Samoan chain Rose Atoll lies to the east. The age of Rose's volcanic substrate is not known, but it could be very young (Natland, 1980 but cf. Menard, 1986). Unlike the seemingly more mature, drowned atolls and flat banks to the west, Rose lacks wide offshore banks.

Twenty native species of frogs and 76 species of reptiles have been recorded in the Weipa region and iqdividual species accounts, photos and identification keys are provided. The herpetofauna may include as many as four undescribed species but it lacks the high level of endemicity characteristic of the herpetofauna on the eastern side of Cape York Peninsula. The arrival and establishment of the introduced Cane Toad (Bufo marinus) in the Weipa region is documented. One crocodile and four marine turtles in the region are listed by the IUCN as vulnerable or endangered; a small burrowing snake has been proposed for the Squarnata section of the IUCN Red Data Book. The region experiences a very-dG winter (average monthly rainfall from June to September less than 4 mm) but contains significant dry season refugia for a number of frog species hitherto recorded only from more mesic habitats. Seven of these refuge sites are recommended for habitat conservation. Many of the regeneration sites provide suitable habitat for the frogs and reptiles characteristic of the pre-mined open forest but-some species are apparently excluded because large, hollowbearing trees andlor suitable ground cover are lacking.

The list comprises 204 species. Depth data and museum collection data (for Australian museums) are given for each species. Geographical occurrence is also listed by area and depth (littoral, neuston, sublittoral or deep). Australian contributions to the biology of Australian cimpedes are summarised in an appendix. All listings are indexed by genus and species. JONES. D.S.. J.T. ANDERSON & D.T. ANDERSON, 1990. Checklist of the Australian Cirripedia. Technical Reports of the Australian Museum No. 3: 1-38. Darwin (185 1, 1854) included a number of cirripedes from Australian waters in his comprehensive survey of the group. The second volume of Darwin's monograph (1854: 171) contains a list of species characteristic of the Australian region, notable for its brevity but at the same time for its large endemic content. If one adds to this list the species of Lepas recognised by Darwin in Australian seas as part of their world distribution, the cirripede fauna known for Australia in 1854 comprised 28 species as listed in Table 1. Darwin's list included many of the common and characteristic cirripedes of Australian shores, but only a few sublittoral species. The general perception of the Australian barnacle fauna by non-specialists has changed little since Darwin's time. W.J. Dakin's \"Australian Seashores\", for example, in the revised edition by I. Bennett (1987), adds only &pas fascicularis and Balanus variegatus as components of the known shore and drift fauna, an insignificant change. The Fauna of Australia, Volume 1A (Dyne & Walton, 1987) categorises cirripedes in Australiamerely as \"...known to be present...\". Thereason for this limited recognition is plain. Darwin's monograph remains the only published listing of Australian cirripedes. The well-known Australian student of cirripedes, Elizabeth C. Pope, made extensive collections from all parts of the continent during the nineteen forties, fifties and sixties. The records and specimens from these collections are housed in the Australian Museum, Sydney, where Miss Pope was the Curator of Crustacea. Although Miss Pope published in detail mainly on the chthamaloids (Pope, 1965), we have in our possession her unpublished checklist of Australian cirripedes, assembled during the 19607s, in which she named 61 species, including the 28 listed by Darwin. In a century of investigation, therefore, 33 more species of barnacles had been added to the Australian fauna list, but only expert cirripedologists were aware of it.
