Geographical range. Red Sea and eastward to Muscat, on the western coast of 

 the Gulf of Oman. The southern limit of the range has not been determined, the 

 records from Zanzibar and Dar-es-Salaam being based on doubtfully correct deter- 

 minations. 



Bathymetrical range. Littoral; all the known specimens but one have been taken 

 in shore collecting, some of them between tide marks. The single exception is a very 

 small example brought up in a dredge haul by His Egyptian Majesty's Steamship 

 Mabahiss from 421 meters. There is a possibility that this individual was intercepted 

 by the dredge as it was swimming at or near the surface. 



History. This species was first mentioned by Prof. Friedrich Sigismund 

 Leuckart in 1833 as Comatvla sp. and as Comatula leucomelas Ruppel, MS., the speci-
