by the papers mentioned that T . ornata is par- 
ticularly common and widespread, ranging from 
northeastern Africa to Malaya and Taiwan, 
south past Queensland perhaps to Tasmania, 
and throughout the western Pacific to Hawaii, 
so that citation of specimens, particularly from 
the Philippines and the Marshall Islands, had 
to be restricted to those adequately delimiting 
the range. However, T. decurrens seems more 
unusual and is much less common in collections, 
though ranging from Madagascar, Hainan, and 
southern Luzon to the Solomon Islands. One 
may expect T . conoides from Kenya and Tanga- 
nyika in east Africa to India, Malaya, Luzon, 
thence south and east to the Tonga and Samoan 
island groups. It is next after T. ornata in fre- 
quency of collection. So far T. luzonensis Taylor 
is known only from Luzon. Turbinaria conden- 
sata Sonder, described from somewhere in the 
China Sea, is definitely known from Somalia 
and Kenya on the west to Malaya, Luzon, 
Guam, and western Australia.
