REPORT 0'S THE HOLOTHURIOIDEA. 
2G5 
^icled with short, conical, simple spines, which not unfreqnently present a great 
resemblance to those in Phylloplwrus frauenfeldi, so that the spines are collected 
at the middle and at each end of the rods. 
Stichopus paradoxus, Lampert, 1885. 
Pedicels scattered aU over the body, no arrangement in longitudinal series being 
discernible. Tei|tacles twenty. Deposits — tables with the disk smooth or 
irregularly spinous on the margin, pierced with four central holes and an 
irregular circle of peripheral ones, and supporting a spire which is built up of 
four rods and one transverse beam, and carries about ten large teeth on the 
margin of the very wide annular top ; smooth buttons always with three pairs 
of holes, but not unfreqnently asymmetrical; also C-shaped bodies. 
Habitat . — New Holland (Lampert). 
This species seems to be very well defined. No Stichopus was previously known 
which has pedicels On both the dorsal and ventral surfaces. Nor were the three 
kinds of deposits ever found before in the same species. 
Cucumaria posthuma, Lampert, 1885, 
Habitat. — Java, Table Bay and Cape of Good Hope (Lampert). 
Synonymous with Cucumaria frauenfeldi, Ludwig, 1882. Compare page 109 of this 
Report. At the middle of the body the pedicels form three rows along each 
ambulacrum. 
Cucumaria jdgeri, Krauss, Lampert, 1885. 
Body ovate, ventral pedicels arranged in four or five rows on each ambulacrum, dorsal 
pedicels in three or four. Deposits like those in Cucumaria echinata, but devoid- 
of the long, characteristic, outwardly-directed spine; the deposits are very solid 
and covered with closely-placed knobs. Pedicels devoid of terminal plates. 
Calcareous ring robust and devoid of posterior prolongations. 
Habitat . — Natal (Lampert). 
Cucumaria ohunca, Lampert, 1885. 
Body-form like that in Cucumaria cucumis. A double row of about thirty 
retractile pedicels in each ambulacrum. Deposits — tables, consisting of an 
irregularly oval, smooth disk with undulated margin, perforated with four holes, 
and having the spire reduced to two knobs. Calcareous ring very fine, devoid 
of prolongations posteriorly. 
Habitat. — Hakodadi, Japan (Lampert).
