Of tlie 102 species secured, 96 have been reported from Japanese 

 waters, and 60 are, so far as known, exclusively Japanese. Of the 37 

 Japanese species known to occur elsewhere 16, or 43 per cent, are from 

 the East Indies; 8, or 22 per cent, are found in the Indian Ocean; 8, 

 or 22 per cent, have been reported from the Hawaiian Islands, and 

 but 1 from Chinese waters. 



Four species are common to Japan and the South Seas, and 7 to 

 Japan and the north Atlantic. Four of these latter are found nowhere 

 else except in Japan and in the north Atlantic. 



Five species are common to Japan and the north Pacific, including 

 Alaska, and four are common to Japan and the west coast of America.
