This species, "the most abundant representative of the genus Lcpidoiiotus on the Ceylon 

 pearl-banks' according to Willey. first described by Grube from the Red Sea^). was after- 

 wards found by Semper in the neighbourhood of the Philippines, \>s Bedot near Ambon-) 

 and mentioned by Potts from the Indian Ocean , Saya de Malha banks etc), b\- Marexzeller 

 from the Liukiu Isles, by Fauvel from the Persian Gulf^j. 



The anterior ehtra in our specimens, Hke in those of Ceylon. are beset \\4th spheroïdal 

 papillae i^Pl. XV, fig. 10); they bear keel-shaped elevations. not spines, as figured by Willev 

 (fig. 9j. ^L\rexzeller, Willey and Fau\"el rightly state, that the ventral spines are not "apice 

 simplici". as mentioned by Gritbe, but obviously "bidentate".
