I succeeded in transferring the zoo as quickly as I could. Being a Director of a marine laboratory was fun for about two weeks but, with that and teaching, there was not much research time. Nevertheless, I continued my study of food habits of West Indian reef fishes that I had started on St. John and eventually published (Randall, 1967, deemed a Citation Classic in 1985). I also started a book on West Indian fishes from photographs I took of fishes after removal from the sea by a method I published in Copeia (Randall, 1961c). Knowing how costly color plates would be, I took color photos only of the most colorful species and settled for black and white for the rest. With about half the text finished, I tried to find a publisher, but could find none. The World Publishing Company in Cleveland agreed to publish if I eliminated all the color figures. Although advised against it, I finally submitted the text and photos in abbreviated form as Caribbean Reef Fishes (1968) to Publications, but I was displeased with the result. In 1965 the opportunity came to return to Hawaii as Director of the Oceanic Institute on Oahu adjacent to Sea Life Park. I wrote a proposal to study the life history of the camallanid nematode that I had been told by my professor to discontinue, knowing that the copepod Labidocera would be my prime suspect for the intermediate host. The proposal was rejected. The study was later published by Thomas Deardorff, and Labidocera was the intermediate host. Anxious to cease being an administrator, I was able to move after a year at the Oceanic Institute, working half time at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology of the University o
