Cyperus rotundus L. is a weedy species, native to India, but widely distributed in countries on the Pacific Rim and islands in the Pacific Basin. Commonly referred to as purple nut sedge, it has been known in the Hawaiian Islands since the middle of the nineteenth century. In addition to its weedy nature, the taxon has attracted attention because of the antifebrile activity of its rhizomes. Chemical studies have disclosed the presence of several sesquiterpene derivatives, some of which have been implicated in the plant s medicinal use (cyperene and cyperinerol) (Wagner et ah, 1990, p. 1399). Our interest in this species is the existence of several chemotypes with interesting patterns of occurrence involving Pacific Rim countries and several oceanic islands, including the Hawaiian Islands, islands in the southern Pacific, and the Philippines.

With the increased level of research and interest in the field, an additional international meeting held between the two European meetings seemed desirable. With this in mind, a mposium was organized as part of the International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies. The mposium included oral presentations and a poster session, with a total of 50 contributions. The contributions came from nine countries 11 fi om the United States, 20 firom Japan, 3 from Australia, 1 firom the United Kingdom, 2 from Italy, 4 from the Federal Republic of Germany, 5 from the Netherlands, 3 from Sweden, and 1 from Czechoslovakia. 

We would like to thank the symposium contributors and participants, the contributors to this volume, and the organizing committee of the International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies for allowing us the opportunity to organize and conduct the i posium.

Although the nodules vary widely in their composition over the world oceans, metals are concentrated in three distinct types. One type comprises the nickel-copper-iich nodules of the Clarion-Clipperton variety, which is mainly formed in the equatorial regions. Another type, high in cobalt (1% or more) and low in nickel and copper, appears to be most commonly formed on sea mounts. The third type is high in manganese (35% or more), but low in other metals it is known mainly on the eastern side of the Pacific Basin. As of the early 1980s. the most economically attractive were the cobalt-rich nodules.
