'The wide distribution of the same species over the Oriental 
seas, from the African coast through the Pacific Ocean, is well 
shown in the following tables—a distribution due to the wide 
range of the tropical and subtropical waters. 'D'he Africam sec- 
tion here includes the east coast of Africa, with the adjoining 
islands; the 7ndian, the East Indies, southeast and east coast of 
Asia, and Eastern Australia; the Pacific, the Pacific Ocean.*
