Two specimens of this fish were vomited by a Holothuria 

 dredged in Trinity Bay. The species was first described by 

 Richardson, from a specimen presented by Sir Edward Home 

 to the College of Surgeons, which had been got in the same 

 way from a Holothuria, dredged up at Timor. Gunther's Cata- 

 logue mentions eight other species of this remarkable genus, and 

 it would appear from what is known of their habits that they all 

 obtain their living within the body of Echinodermata, though it 

 is still a matter of doubt whether they occupy the respiratory or 

 digestive cavities of their hosts.
