REPORT 



ON THE 



NON- CALCAREOUS SPONGES 



COLLECTED BY 



MR. JAMES HORNELL 



AT 



OKHAMANDAL IN KATTIAWAR IN 1905-6.

ARTHUR BENDY, D.Sc., F.R.S. 



Professor of Zoology in the University of London (King's College). 



[With Four Plates.] 



MR. HORNELL'S collection of Non-Calcareous Sponges contains about fifty-eight 

 species, of which I have been able to identify no fewer than forty-two with previously 

 described forms and to describe fifteen as new. Leaving out of account numerous 

 fragments which were not sufficiently well-preserved for identification, the following 

 is a complete list of the species represented. It will be observed that one species 

 (Higginsia sp.) has only been generically identified, but the genus is of sufficient interest 

 to make it worth recording. 



ORDER TETRAXONIDA. 

 SUB-ORDER ASTROTETRAXONIDA. 



FAMILY STELLETTID^E. 



1. Myriastra (Pilochrota) haeckeli Sollas. 



2. Jaspis reptans (Dendy). 



3. Asteropus simplex (Carter).
