The collection comprises 27 species of ophiurids from Mahe and Praslin, Seychelles, and 16 species (some the same) from Inhaca, Delagoa Bay, Mozambique> Included are new records for Amphiura ambigua Koehler (found to be viviparous), ophiactis picteti (de Loriol), Ophiosphaera insignis Brock and Ophiopeza spinosa (Ljungman) from Mahe amd Ophiura kinbergi (Ljungman) from Inhaca. Comments are included on Ophiothrix (Keystonia) propinqua Lyman - transferred to the genus Macrophiothrix, some other anomalous specimens of Macrophiothrix, variations found in Ophiothela venusta (de Loriol) and O. tigris Lyman, a modification of certain podia in Ophiocoma pusilla (Brock) and the synonymy of paracrocnida sacensis (Balinsky) with P. oersica (Mortensen).
