Abstract Three echinoids are described--Tithonia arctica n.sp. from the Valanginian (Cretaceous) of eastern Greenland, Leiocidaris thiebaudi n.sp. from the Albian (Cretaceous) of Catunbela near Lobito, Angola, and Parasalenia cf. poehlii from the Pliocene of Erromango in the New Hebrides (southwest Pacific).

A brief account is given of the geographical distribution of the major vegetation types in the New Hebrides. Evidence based on computer analysis of field data indicates a disjunction at about I8° S latitude that divides the island chain into ‘northern’ and ‘southern’ groups with an attenuation from complex to simple vegetation types as latitude increases. The phytogeography of some of the major vegetation types in the north is discussed within the context of the southwest Pacific region.

Deep Focus

The southwest quadrant of the Pacific, from southern New Zealand to central New Guinea, contains eight distinct active regions of the asymmetric type (i.e. continental margins and island arcs). These regions vary widely in size, shape, and geodynamic character. Four of them face towards and four away from the Pacific Ocean; hence the concept of a circum-Pacific active belt is only partly applicable. The area includes some of the most intensely active features known, such as the deep-focus seismicity of the Tonga region and the intermediate-focus seismicity of the New Hebrides region. There are none, however, of the great curved structures that are typical of the north and northwest Pacific areas. The southwest Pacific is a severe testing-ground for hypotheses concerned with large-scale processes and structures in the upper mantle and crust.
