collecting produce additional specimens showing essentially the 
same combination of remarkable features, I should consider the 
species entitled to separate generic rank. 
ACTINOPYGA MILIARIS. 
Holothuria miliaris, Quoy and Gaimard, 1833. Voy. de 1 Astrolabe, Zool., vol.4,. 
p. 137. 
Muller 1 a miliaris, Brandt, 1835. Prod. Desc. Anim., p. 74 ( e ^ auct.) 
Two large specimens (Nos. 218, 219) without data, except 
“West Australia,” are in the collection. The generic name 
Mtilleria has so often been shown to be preoccupied, so far as holo- 
thurians are concerned, there can be no justification for its further 
use instead of Brown’s suggested substitute, Actinopyga. 
STICHOPUS, sp. ? 
Three large holothurians (No. 4939) from between Fremantle 
and Geraldton seem to belong to the genus Stichopus, but they are 
so contracted and distorted and the body surface is so rubbed that 
it is impossible to determine them satisfactorily. They do not seem 
to be S. variegatus and I think they probably represent an undes- 
cribed species. 
HOLOTHURIA ATRA 
Jaeger, 1833. De Holoth., p. 22. 
These specimens which range from 100 mm. to 250 mm. in 
length seem to be identical with similar individuals from the 
Philippine Islands, and I see no reason to doubt that they are atm. 
There are no data with them but they are from “ West Australia ” 
and bear the Nos. 213, 215 and 216. Three specimens. 
HOLOTHURIA. sp. ? 
There is a small, decalcified holothurian (No. 251) from 
“ Pelsart Island, Abrolhos, W.A.,” which unfortunately cannot be 
determined.
