 Family ASPIDOCHIROTAE. 



HOLOTHURIA HARTMEYERI, Erwe, 1913. 



Erwe, Willy. 'Holothuroidea," in ''Die Fauna Siidwest Aus- 

 traliens," Band iv., Lief. 9, Giistav Fischer, Jena, 1913, p. 383. 



There are two very wrinkled and contracted specimens 

 which we tentatively identify as belonging to Erwe's species. 

 Their condition is quite inhibitive of a determination of th»^^ 

 arrangement of the podia. The spicules, however, appear to 

 agree closely, both in form and size, with those of Erwe's 

 species. 



HoLOTHURiA, sp. indetemi. 



There are several specimens of a Holothurian the condi- 

 tion of which is inhibitive of a satisfactory identification. 



Stichopus ludwigi, Erwe, 1913. 



Stichopus ludwigi, Erwe, p. 388, antea. 



There is a single example of this species collected in South 

 Australian waters by Dr. J. C. Verco. 



The specimen is not in very good condition, the external 

 surface having apparently become somewhat eroded, and it 

 is therefore difficult to determine the arrangement of the 

 podia and papillae. However, the deposits are in good con- 

 dition in the uneroded portions of the perisome, and are 

 perfectly characteristic of the above species. The length of 

 our example is 120 mm. Colour is fawn, darker dorsally. 

 The dorsal papillae are of a dark-brown tint. The oral open- 

 ing is placed in a distinctly ventral position, and is surrounded 

 by a rosette-like structure. 



Family DENDROCHIROTAE. 



CUCUMARIA SQUAMATA, Ludwig. 



Cucumaria squamata, Ludwig, 1898, "Holothurien" ; in 

 "Ergebn. der Hamburg," Magalhaensischen Sammelreise, 

 Hamburg. 



There is one specimen froin Encounter Bay. It is of 

 interest to record this species for South Australia. 



This specimen is in an excellent state of preservation, and 

 is quite in accord with Ludwig's description, both as to 

 podial distribution and spiculation.
