This species is chatactanttie of, eas is almost herpes con- 
fined to the sublittoral zone of the north-east c 
and the south-west coast of Asia, along both sic of the Red 
Sea and the Gulf of Aden. On the African shore it extends from 
Suez to Obok and Jibuti, thence to Ras Asir and Socotra. On 
the Asiatic coast it extends from the Sinai ha meso to Perim, 
thence to Muscat. Outside the area it has been once met with 
on the coast of Scinde but in no intervening omit; it may 
therefore in India be only a species introduced from Aden or 
Muscat. In the Sinai “Parken the ash of the fruit is used 
in the treatment of suppurating wounds.
