ACTINOPODOUS HOLOTHURIOIDEA. 171 



panying them which were made at the Exhibition state particularly 

 that the localities from which they came were not ascertainable, 

 and it is probable that they were exhibited simply as merchandise 

 sold in Taipeh. I have therefore no specimen which is certain- 

 ly known to have come from points further south than 

 Kagoshima. 



Outside of Japan, I have specimens from Vladivostok, and 

 from different points on the eastern coast of Korea facing the Sea 

 of Japan, most of these specimens being those dried by the 

 Japanese fishermen who go out to these parts, so that the 

 species is found all around the shores of the same sea. I have 

 no specimen from the western coast of Korea or from any spot on 

 the Yellow Sea or from any place in China. These parts have 

 simply not been explored, and whether the species extends to 

 them or not I have no means of ascertaining. So far as my 

 present experience goes, the species is confined to Japan proper 

 and to the coast of the Asiatic continent facing the Sea of Japan. 

 Remarkable, therefore, is the locality given by Thkel, viz. Hong- 

 Kong, especially as I have been unable to find any in the Liu-Kiu 

 Islands.
