Excerpt from Memoires of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, Vol. 39: Reports on the Scientific Results of the Expedition to the Tropical Pacific, in Charge of Alexander Agassiz, by the U. S. Fish Commission Steamer "Albatross", From August, 1899, to March, 1900, Commander Jefferson F. Moser, U. S. N. Commanding
The number of holothurians collected by the albatross on her Tropical Pacific expeditions was not large and hence a single report is preferable. Those taken in 1899 - 1900 were originally sent to Professor Mitsukuri at Tokyo and he had made numerous notes, prepared many slides, and identified many of the species before his failing health put an end to his work. Later the collection was received at Cambridge. The collections of 1904 - 1905 were sent to Pro fessor Ludwig at Bonn but his death occurred before he had made any iden tifications and the material was forwarded to Cambridge in the spring of 1914.
The earlier collection is a small one, consisting of only fifty-nine specimens, representing sixteen species, and eleven are common, wide-spread indo-pacific littoral forms. Of the remaining five, two appear to be species hitherto un known.
