THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
with six holes ; and tables which have the smooth disk pierced with four central 
and about twelve peripheral holes, and supporting a spire composed of four rods 
and one transverse beam, and terminating in about twelve teeth. Am ong these 
tables others are scattered which have the spire much, longer, provided with 
three to four transverse beams, and terminating in only four teeth. 
Habitat. — Cosseir (Lampert). 
Holotliuria truncata, Lampert, 1885. 
Rather large papillse all over the body. Tentacles eighteen. Deposits — smooth 
buttons of the usual shape with six holes ; and very solid tables, which have the 
smooth disk perforated by eight peripheral holes and supporting a spire which 
is built up of four rods and one transverse beam, and which terminates in so 
great a number of teeth that the top of the spire becomes almost as wide as the 
disk itself. 
Habitat. — Queensland (Lampert). 
Holothuria klunzingeri, Lampert, 1885. 
Sparsely scattered pedicels all over the body. Tentacles twenty. Deposits — buttons 
with six holes, and two knobs on the middle beam ; and tables of the usual 
shape with small holes on the disk, and spines of varying number and size on 
its margin. The spire is composed of four rods and one transverse beam, and 
terminates in eight teeth. Sometimes the spire seems to be rather poorly de- 
veloped. 
Habitat. — Cosseir (Lampert). 
The species is possibly not distinct from Ludwig’s Holothuria notabilis. 
Holothuria enalia, Lampert, 1885. 
Ventral surface with irregularly scattered pedicels ; dorsal surface with very sparsely 
placed small papillae. Tentacles small and withdrawn into the body. Deposits 
— small, fenestrated plates of irregular shape ; and tables completely devoid of 
disks or possessing simple annular ones. The spire is composed of four rods 
held together at their middle by one transverse beam, but not united at their 
free ends, which are simple, devoid of spines or teeth, and directed outwards. 
Habitat. — Bahia (Lampert). 
The species is nearly allied to Holothuria atra and Holothuria grisea, &c. 
Holothuria 'parva, Krauss, Lampert, 1885. 
Habitat. — Natal (Lamport).' 
The species scarcely seems to be distinguished from Semper’s Holothv/ria erinaceus. 
Lampert, however, says that its deposits consist of short, solid, thick rods, pro-
