    Description: INTRODUCTION\nAt the request of Dr. Dennis M. Devaney, Invertebrate Zoologist, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii, I investigated a number of Polynesian soft corals kept in the Museum mentioned.\nAt the same time Professor Paul J. Scheuer, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Department of Chemistry, Honolulu, Hawaii, asked me to identify some octocorals from Enewetak Atoll (Marshall Is.) and from Ponape Island (Carolines).\nThese collections include several well-known species which are not described in the present paper. I only mention their names with the localities added in parentheses: Cladiella pachyclados (Klunzinger, 1877) (American Samoa); Lobophytum borbonicum (Von Marenzeller, 1886) (Enewetak); Lobophytum pauciflorum (Ehrenberg, 1834) (Enewetak, Wake I., Kingman Reef, Cook Is.); Lobophytum schoedei Moser, 1919 (Wake I.); Sarcophyton acutangulum (Von Marenzeller, 1886) (American Samoa, Cook Is.); Sarcophyton crassocaule Moser, 1919 (Christmas I.); Sarcophyton ehrenbergi Von Marenzeller, 1886 (Fiji Is.); Sarcophyton glaucum (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833) (American Samoa, Enewetak); Sarcophyton trocheliophorum Von Marenzeller, 1886 (Fanning Atoll, Enewetak, Wake I., Washington L, Kingman Reef); Sinularia flexibilis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833) (Fiji Is.); Sinularia leptoclados (Ehrenberg, 1834) (Gambier Is., Fanning Atoll, Enewetak); Sinularia macrodactyla Kolonko, 1926 (Fiji Is.); Sinularia polydactyla (Ehrenberg, 1834) (Fiji Is., Guam, Samoa); Xenia crassa Schenk, 1896 (Fiji Is.); Xenia lillieae Roxas, 1933 (Fiji Is.); Xenia membranacea Schenk, 1896 (Carolines); Dendronephthya (Roxasia) mirabilis

    The Octocorallian genera Spongodes Lesson, Neospongodes K\xc3\xbckenthal and Stereonephthya K\xc3\xbckenthal (1983)
    In:  Beaufortia vol. 33 no. 1, pp. 1-13
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: The type specimens of Spongodes celosia Lesson and of spicata Wright & Studer are redescribed. They are conspecific and must be called Stereonephthya celosia (Lesson). Most probably, Spongodes digitata Wright & Studer is also a Stereonephthya species. The validity of the genus Neospongodes K\xc3\xbckenthal is discussed. The species N. portoricensis must be transferred to the genus Stereonephthya, but the generic name Neospongodes must be maintained for N. atlantica K\xc3\xbckenthal. N. bahiensis K\xc3\xbckenthal is conspecific with N. atlantica.

    Further studies on Octocorallia (1942)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 24 no. 7, pp. 159-186
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: INTRODUCTION\nThis paper is to be regarded as a continuation of my previous publication (Verseveldt, 1940 1)). Some three species, sufficient material of which for an anatomical examination was available, had then to remain undiscussed; they are: Semperina rubra K\xc3\xb611., Anthothela macrocalyx (Nutt.) (= Suberia macrocalyx Nutting (1911) = Semperina macrocalyx (Nutt.) Kukenthal (1919)) and Sibogagorgia weberi Stiasny, which species have been examined by me in the same way as formerly the others.\nIt has become clear to me that the second of the species mentioned cannot be considered as belonging either to the genus Suberia Studer or the genus Semperina K\xc3\xb611. A close relationship with Anthothela grandiflora (M.\nSors) caused me to decide on the name Anthothela macrocalyx (Nutt.) (cf. chapter II, \xc2\xa7 8).\nThe results of my investigations make it necessary to refer to my views previously mentioned (Verseveldt, 1940) with regard to the canal system and the taxonomy. For both in Semperina rubra and Sibogagorgia weberi the canal system differs in some degree from that of the species examined before. For we see that in the medulla in the tips of the branches of Semperina rubra there do occur many small and even a single large solenium, whereas for the family Anthothelidae Broch I rejected the presence of medullary canals in the terminal parts. So while in all the species examined up till now the medullary canals cease somewhere in apical direction, in Semperina rubra we find them even as far as in, the ends of the branches. In my opinion this is not of radical importance, 1\xc2\xb0 because the larger medullary canals, which in the more basal parts occur in larger num-

    On two new Sinularia species (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) from the Moluccas (1977)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 50 no. 20, pp. 303-307
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: The present note is based on alcyonacean material collected by Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University Marine Program, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, U.S.A., while on board R/V "Alpha Helix" in the waters of the Moluccas in the spring of 1975. The corals, most of which were the hosts of copepods, were collected during the "Alpha Helix\'\' East Asian Bioluminescence Expedition, which was supported by the National Science Foundation (USA) under grants OFS 74 01830 and OFS 74 02888 to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and NSF grant BMS 74 23242 to the University of California, Santa Barbara. I thank Dr. Humes for entrusting the material to me.\nThe material is kept in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, Netherlands; the register numbers are preceded by the abbreviation RMNH.\nThe collection contains a number of well-known species, most of them are widespread throughout the warm Indo-Pacific area. Three species have not been recorded from Indonesian waters before. They are the following.\nDendronephthya (Morchellana) castanea Utinomi, 1952. One colony from the SW shore of Gunung Api, Banda Is., 4\xc2\xb03i/45"S i29\xc2\xb05i\'55"E, depth 3 m, 4 May 1975, A. G. Humes no. 1834, RMNH Coel. no. 11834. Previously recorded from Japan (Utinomi, 1952) and the Philippines (Tixier-Durivault & Prevorsek, 1962).\nLitophyton acutifolium Kukenthal, 1913. One colony from the same locality, but depth 10 m, 28 April 1975, A. G. Humes no. 1794, RMNH Coel. no. 11835. Field-note: "Long slender stalk, brown branches". Previously recorded from the Red Sea (Kukenthal, 1913; Verseveldt, 1974).\nNephthea galbuloides Verseveldt, 1973. One colony from Amboina,

    Notes on Mediterranean Alcyonium species (Coelenterata: Octocorallia) (1964)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 39 no. 17, pp. 153-167
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: In this paper I will try to solve the controversial points still existing in respect to the species Alcyonium palmatum Pallas, Alcyonium acaule Marion and Alcyonium brioniense K\xc3\xbckenthal. I found that A. brioniense has to be regarded a synonym of A. acaule, and that A. palmatum adriaticum K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1907, ( = A. adriaticum of K\xc3\xbckenthal, 1909) can neither be considered a geographical race nor a valid species.\nI wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr. L. D. Brongersma, director, and Drs. W. Vervoort and L. B. Holthuis, curators, of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, to Prof. Dr. H. Engel, director, and Dr.\nJ. H. Stock, curator, of the Zo\xc3\xb6logisch Museum at Amsterdam, for placing material of their respective museums at my disposal and for their kind assistance. My thanks are also due to my colleagues Mr. W. ter Spill, who revised my English, and Mr. G. J. Vrijmoeth, who performed for me the difficult task of making the photographs.\n\nOUTLINE OF THE LITERATURE CONCERNING ALCYONIUM ACAULE MARION\nAND A. BRIONIENSE K\xc3\x9c\nKENTHAL\nIn 1878 Marion distinguished between two types of Alcyonium, occurring in the Bay of Marseilles. The first type he called \xe2\x80\x9eles Alcyons des fonds vaseux", evidently since it is found on a muddy bottom. This type was characterized as follows: (a) the colony has a long sterile stalk (Marion, 1878, pl. 6 fig. 1); (b) the length of the colony is 23 cm and more; (c) usually the colour is palish, though sometimes it may be a dirty light-yellow, brown-red or bright vermilion; (d) the tegument is transparent and nearly colourless; (e) usually the zooids are colourless or slightly white or yellow, sometimes their spicules are reddish; (f) in the sterile stalk there are short,

    On the validity of Alcyonium siderium Verrill (Coelenterata : Octocorallia) (1973)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 46 no. 16, pp. 209-216
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-12
    Description: INTRODUCTION\nVerrill (1879: 199-200) described two specimens of Alcyonium collected on the Fishing Bank, east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 80 fathoms.\nAccording to him "they form low, thick, lobular masses", "the base is somewhat spreading" and "the division into rounded or flattened lobes takes place close to the base". He is of opinion that "if not identical with A. digitatum of Europe, it is at least very closely related".\nMore than forty years later Verrill (1922: 20) returns to this question.\nThis time he gives a drawing of one of these American colonies (his textfigure 3), and he has changed his mind regarding the relation to A. digitatum.\nHe now thinks the species is "distinct from the common European species, A. digitatum, to which it is nearly allied". He named it A. siderium. It is a pity that Verrill omitted an exact study of the spicules and of other characters.\nDeichmann (1936: 48-49) described the species more fully on the basis of "twenty-five specimens from nine localities off the coast of New England at depths varying from 8-80 fms". But she also failed to give drawings of the spicules. She found that the differences between Verrill\'s A. siderium and Linn\xc3\xa9\'s A. digitatum were insignificant, and she therefore abandoned the name siderium.\nRecently Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University, Massachusetts, sent to me three Alcyonium colonies collected by him in the same locality as Verrill\'s type specimens. A hasty survey of them led me to doubt the correctness of Deichmann\'s conclusion, and a closer examination and comparison of both species seemed necessary to me.
