A. H. CLARK: THE CBINOIDS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN. 289 



CRINOID. 



Ciinoid 19(il. Ijima, Zool. Coll., Japan, vol. 16, p. 27. 



Br. Ijima records that a small stalked crinoid was taken from the carapace 

 of a specimen of the giant crab {Macrocheira kcempferi) caught in Sa,gami 

 Bay. 



ANTEDON LEVISSIMA. 



Antedon levissima 1902. Bell, in Gardiner, Fauna and Geography of the Mal- 



dive and Lacoadive Archipelagoes, vol. 1, part 3, p. 224. 



'' Dredged eight times in seven atolls between 20 and 37 fathoms, usually 

 from a hard sand or shell bottom with some weed. In one dredging, 37 

 fathoms, in the middle but just within the N. passage of Suvadiva, some adults 

 and thousands of the immature forms of this species of crinoid — and no other^ 

 were obtained." 



ANTEDON spp. 



Antedon 1902. Bell, in Gardiner, Fauna and Geography of the Maldive and 



Laccadive Archipelagoes, vol. 1, part 3, p. 224. 



" Genus Antedon immature forms — not identifiable — were dredged on ten 

 occasions, sometimes in considerable numbers, between nineteen and thirty- 

 seven fathoms, and a few were also secured by diving off the west reef of 

 Hulule (Male Atoll, Maldives). They seem to especially frequent the inner ends 

 of the passages where they embouch into the lagoons ; in all cases the bottom 

 is recorded as having rubble or coral, with perhaps sand or weed." 



CRINOIDS. 

 Crinoids 1902. H. L. Clark, Zool. Anzeiger, vol. 25, p. 670. 



Dr. Clark refers here to the entire collection of crinoids made by the ' ' Alba- 

 tross" off southern Japan in 1900. 



ACTINOMETRA spp. 



Actinometra 1902. Bell, in Gardiner, Fauna and Geography of the Maldive 



and Laccadive Archipelagoes, vol. 1, part 3, p. 225. 



" Genus Actinometra. Young forms were obtained off the coral masses of 

 the west reef of Hulule. It is noticeable that neither this genus nor Avtedon 

 was found in the lagoon nor on the reefs of Minikoi."
