One specimen, measuring 6 cm., with dark brown small points (each a chrom- 

 atophore), on the back very densely arranged, giving a uniform brown colour, on 

 the belly scattered, causing brown dots on a light ground. Three other specimens, 

 6,5, 9,5 and 21 cm,, with the same kind of chromatophores, but these are arranged 

 in such a way that they form dark brown reticulations on a light ground. Tliese 

 light parts also are covered with separated brown points.

Several specimens collected both at Nassau and at Mastic Point, Andros, in 

 the large Holofhuria mexicana, which is very common along the shores in a few 

 fathoms of water. Length 10 to 13,5 cm. Two specimens w^ere taken in one 

 holothuria, six in another; the other specimens were found single. All these spec- 

 imens were in a living state grey with brown spots, most numerous on the snout 

 and the tail. 



Tw^o specimens collected at Mastic Point, were found in a holothuria of a 

 medium size which is abundant under rocks and pieces of corals in shallow water. 

 Length 6 cm. They agreed wdth the specimens from the large Holothuria mexicana, 

 except that they had only a few spots on the snout.
