1. Syuapta maculata (Chamisso et Eysenhardt). 



Holothuria maculata Chamisso et Eysenhardt, Nov. Act. Acad. 

 Leop.-Carol., Pasc. II, vol. X, 1821, p. 352; pl. XXV. 



Synapta maculata Clark, The Apodous Holothurians, 1907, pp. 23, 

 78-79; pis. I; IV, figs. 17-19, 26. 



Two specimens. Under Nami-no-Uyé Temple (tide pool), Napha, 

 Okinawa, Liu-Kiu Islands. Mitsukuri, Ikeda, etc. coll. Apr., 1901. 

 (Cat. no. 1 1 84). 



This species, hitherto known from numerous localities throughout 

 the Indo-Pacific region, is now found to extend north to the Liu-Kiu 

 Islands. Mr. S. Hozawa tells me that he and his party observed 

 gigantic Synaptids at Koshun, near the south end of Formosa. It is 

 exceedingly probable that they had this remarkable species before 

 them.
