The material which forms the basis of this paper is a 

 collection of Holothuroidea in the possession of the South 

 Australian Museum, Adelaide, and was kindly placed at our 

 disposal by the Honorary Curator, Dr. E. C. Stirling. 



The majority of the species represented was collected by 

 Dr. J. C. Verco from an area which may be regarded as 

 lying between latitudes 33° and 37° S. and longitudes 

 132° and 140° E. 



We have to note seventeen species from South Australian 

 waters; this number includes two species not represented in 

 the collection, but which are recorded by Lampert ^i* as having 

 I)een collected at Adelaide. 



We describe four species which we believe to be new to 

 science.
