Family: HOLOTHURIDAE. 



Genus : HOLOTHURIA Linne. 

 Holothuria arenicola Brandt. 



Type: I have not had access to the original description of this 

 species, consequently am unable to cite the type locality or depository. 



Distribution : This widely distributed species ranges from the Red 

 Sea and Indian Ocean to the west coast of tropical America and in the 

 Atlantic on the north and east coasts of South America. The "Ara" 

 record appears to be the first from Florida. It has previously been 

 reported from the following principal stations: Surinam, and in 

 Bahia, Brazil; the Hawaiian Islands; the Galapagos Islands; Cocos 

 Island; Zanzibar, the Philippines; Bonin and Marshall Islands; 

 Amboina; Rotti; Sula Besi; Fiji and Samoan Islands; Kosseir, Red 

 Sea and Mauritius. 



Material examined: One specimen, Dry Tortugas, Fla., March, 

 1925. 



Discussion : The Florida specimen agrees well with the description 

 of this species, which possesses considerable variation. It has unfor- 

 tunately been formalined and consequently the specimen is in poor 

 condition. I am indebted to Dr. H. L. Clark and Dr. Elizabeth 

 Deichmann for examination of this specimen.
