506 THE STOLONIFEBA AND ALCYONACEA 



The colour is brown with rather darker furrows and pits. 



Habitat. Sandal Bay, Lifu ; and China Straits, British New Guinea. Previously 

 recorded from Funafuti, Ellice Islands (30). 



23. Lobophytum crasstmi, Marenzeller. 



There is only a fragment of the capitulum of this species measuring 30 mm. by 

 25 mm. It shows four thick folds. The spicules of the cortex are somewhat larger 

 than those of the type specimen (18). 



The spicules of the coenenchyma are slightly smaller ; they are "23 — '29 mm. long 

 and '07 — '09 broad. But they are of the same type as those figured by Marenzeller. 



Habitat. Loyalty Islands. 



Previously recorded from Port Denison (Australia). 



ADDENDUM. 



Since the above paper was sent to the press my attention has been called to 

 a memoir by Walther May entitled " Beitrage zur Systematik und Chorologie der 

 Alcyonaceen" in the Jen. Zeits. f. Naturwiss. xxvi. 1. None of the species described 

 by us as new agree with the new species described by May. There is no reason to 

 believe therefore that there is any serious overlapping. 



I may point out however that Glavularia flava cannot be accepted as the name 

 for the new sjaecies described on his page 43, as I employed this name for a species 

 from Australia described in the Trans. Zool. Soc. Vol. xni. 1895.
