ADDITIONAL RECORDS OF ECHINODERMS FROM THE MARSHALL 



ISLANDS 



From time to time scattered references to specimens from the Mar- 

 shall Islands have appeared in the literature, based upon material 

 that has found its way into museums from various sources, much of it 

 from the Reverend B. G. Snow, a resident missionary. Most of the 

 specimens are from Ebon (Boston Island), with some from Jaluit 

 (Bonham Island), both in the extreme south of the Marshall group. 



The only systematic collecting that has been done in the Marshalls 

 was by the Swedish expedition to the South Sea Islands under the 

 leadership of Dr. Sixten Bock in 1917. A report on the Ophiuroidea 

 of this collection was published by Prof. Rene Koehler in 1927 

 (Goteborgs Kungl. Vet. Vitt. sam. Handl., vol. 33, No. 3), which lists 

 16 species, mostly from Jaluit and Ebon, of which the following are 

 not represented in the present collection. 



Ophiomyxa brevispina von Martens (Jaluit) 

 Amphilimna sexradiata (Duncan) (Jaluit) 

 Ophioncreis porrecta Lyman (Ebon) 

 Ophiothrix demessa Lyman (Jaluit) 

 Ophiothrix galatheae Liitken (Jaluit) 

 Ophiothrix triloba von Martens (Jaluit) 

 Ophiopezella dubiosa de Loriol (Jaluit) 



It is probable that Professor Koehler's Ophiothrix galatheae is the 

 same as O. longipeda of the present list. 



The Crinoidea of this expedition, all collected by Dr. Chr. Hessle, 

 were described by Professor Torsten Gislen in 1940 (Kungl. Svenska 

 Vetenskapsakademiens Handlingar, ser. 3, vol. 18, No, 10). He re-
