32 A. E. SHIPLEY. 
Locality. Minikoi, Laccadive Islands and Naifaro, Fadifolu Atoll, where it was dredged 
at a depth of 12—20 fathoms, also recorded from the Philippines, from Mauritius, and from 
Lifu, Loyalty Islands. 
2. Aspidosiphon truncatus Ket. 
Shipley. Willey’s Zoological Results, Part u. 1899, p. 154. 
A few specimens, all small, were taken at Hulule, Male Atoll. 
Locality. Hulule, Male Atoll in the Maldives, also known from Sandal Bay, Loyalty 
Islands, Mauritius and from Panama. 
As this is the first mention of Hulule, Male Atoll, I subjoin some notes made by 
Mr Stanley Gardiner on the spot with reference to the Sipunculoids of the reefs around 
that island. 
“The Sipunculoidea were not by any means numerous, though a large number of small 
specimens were obtained from the clumped tops of Halimeda masses. A few were taken 
from some beach-sandstone masses near the village, and a few were secured by breaking 
up rock masses. A small semi-transparent form was found in sand of the boulder zone 
occasionally; and two large specimens were in a hole under the rock of the south islet. 
The “vembol” (Stpunculus indicus) is numerous in the sand, but hard to obtain perfect. 
“Tt is remarkable as compared with Minikoi that m the sand under overturned coral 
masses no Sipunculoids occur, nor under the stones of the spits of the various islands.” 
II. Genus CLOEOSIPHON Grube. 
3. Cloeosiphon aspergillum Quatrefages. 
Shipley. P. Zool. Soc. London, 1898, p. 471. 
Numerous examples found living in the coral rocks to a depth of 9 fathoms. 
Locality. Minikoi, Laccadive Islands, and from Maradu, Addu Atoll and Hulule, Male 
Atoll in the Maldives and dredged at a depth of 12—20 fathoms in a passage at Fadifolu 
in the same islands, previously recorded from many islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. 
Ill. Genus LITHACROSIPHON, nov. 
4. Lithacrosiphon maldivense, n. sp. (vide p. 137). 
IV. Genus PHASCOLOSOMA S. Str. (F. S. Leuckart) Sel. and de Man. 
5. Phascolosoma dissors Sel. and de Man. 
Selenka. Die Sipunculiden, 1883. 
Several specimens were found by breaking up the corals and stone masses from the 
outer reef. These specimens correspond with Selenka and de Man’s species Phas. dissors 
in having strongly-bent hooks arranged in numerous rows, large papillae on the body and 
two retractors. The specimens are however longer than the specimens described by previous
