Paterson Inlet, Stewart Island; 5—15 fms.; mud. 17/XI. 1914. 2 specimens 
(in very poor condition). 
I Further, I have received from Captain Bollo ns some specimens 
^ from Cloudy Bay, 19 fms. Also some specimens from Akaroa 
w Harbour were received previously from Mr. Sut er. 
I have nothing to add to the descriptions of the authors quoted, 
■ j except mentioning that the eggs are unusually small for a Dendro- 
jtf chirote, only ca. O .2 mm, and lie crowded in the genital coeca, in 
marked contrast especially to Cucumaria FarquharU with its few, 
i more than 1 mm long (oval) eggs lying, bead-like, in a single series 
i in the genital tubes. This must mean a conspicuous difference in 
their development; one is even tempted to suggest that Cuc. alba 
J may perhaps have typical pelagic larvæ, though such are otherwise 
f unknown in the order of the Dendrochirota. 
Concerning the Cucumaria Filholi of Perri er I agree perfectly 
; with Dendy & Hindle that there is not the slightest reason or 
^ possibility for regarding it as distinet from C. alba', it cannot even 
; be maintained as a separate variety. 
- The new localities, Tiri-Tiri, Colville Channel and Stewart Island, 
given here indicate that this species will prove to oceur along the 
whole of the New Zealand coasts, while it is not known to oceur 
outside the New Zealand region.
