REPOET ON THE HOLOTHHRIOIDEA.

2. Dorsal ambulacral appendages scattered on the amhulacra as well as on the 
interamhulacra. 
a. Deposits — 0-shaped bodies ; tables like those in the preceding 
species, thus larger and smaller tables with the truncated 
apex terminating in several teeth, and large robust tables 
with the conical spire terminating in a simple point. 
Stichopus godeffroyi, var. h, Semper, 1868. 
Tentacles twenty. The dorsal appendages on the ambulacra seem to be sbghtly 
larger than those on the interamhulacra, and the presence of the latter appears to 
be the only character distinguishing this species from Stichopus horrens. 
Hahitat . — Navigatpr Islands (Semper). 
(Mus. Holm.) Several specimens from the Friendly Islands, Navigator Islands 
Fiji Islands, and Pelew Islands. A few of the dorsal pajhllse run out from 
shghtly larger protuberances, and this is especially the case with a part of those 
situated on the sides of the body and on the dorsal ambulacra ; however, the 
appendages never attain any very considerable size. An arrangement in 
rows of the larger appendages is not very distinct. Colour in alcohol, pale 
yellowish-grey, with darker stains on the back ; ventral surface pale. 
In addition to C-shaped bodies and the two kinds of tables, incomplete rosettes. 
h. Deposits — C-sbaped bodies; and tables of one kind, viz., those 
with the spire built up of four rods and one transverse beam, 
and terminating in several teeth. 
Stichopus variegatus, Semper, 1868. Stichopus variegatus, var. herrmanni, Semper,. 
1868. Stichopus naso, Haacke, 1880 (according to Ludwig, 1883). 
Tentacles twenty. The dorsal appendages small, numerous. Spire of the tables 
terminating in four dentate points. Incomplete rosettes present. 
Hahitat . — Philippine Islands (Semper), Navigator Islands (Semper), Indian Ocean 
(Ludwig), Timor (Ludwig), Mauritius (Haacke, Ludwig), Port MoUe (Bell). 
(Mus. Holm.) Three specimens, one from the Pacific Ocean and two from the Fiji 
Islands. The former is 140 mm. long, of a yellowish-grey colour stained with 
brown and with minute blackish spots on the back. One of those from Fiji is 
nearly a foot long and of a darker colour. As a rule, the dorsal ambulacral 
appendages are minute. 
Stichopus fuscus, Ludwig, 1875. 
Tentacles twenty. “ Dorsal papillse not disposed in distinct rows.” Spire of the tables 
terminating in numerous short teeth (as many as twenty-four). Rosettes 
absent.
