these species in order that I might be able, perhaps, through a 
study of their calcareous deposits to settie these questionable species. 
It proved that in all of them the calcareous bodies have been dis¬ 
solved. The peculiar wrinkling of the epidermis in C. thomsoni 
enabled me to recognize this species in a pair of well preserved 
specimens, which I dredged at Stewart Island in 1914. This species 
proves to be a Pseudocucumis, which will thus keep the name 
Pseudoc. thomsoni (Hutton). Labidodesm. turbinatus has meantime, 
as stated above, been — probably wrongly — identified by Pear- 
son with a ceylonese species and thus disappears from the New 
Zealand fauna, at least for the present. Holothuria robsoni can no 
longer be recognized, and, be it now, as has been maintained, a 
synonym of St. mollis or not, is a species delenda, no longer to be 
taken into account. 
The corrected list of New Zealand Holothurians, not including 
those from the Kermadecs or from the Deep-Sea off New Zealand, 
then looks as follows, in modern nomenclature:
