Geographical DktrUmtion. 



The only general result as regards geographical distribution of species is 

 that a large number are common to the Indian Ocean and to such localities in 

 the Pacific Ocean as Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Sulu Sea, Arafura Sea, Banda, 

 Japan, Formosa, Torres Strait and North West Australia.
