  • These specimens were most likely collected with MCZ IZ SCOR-154. Verrill, 1864 described two new species from MCZ IZ SCOR-154 - Stylaster elegans and Distichopora nitida. The "154" labels in this lot likely refer back to MCZ IZ SCOR-154 - A.J. Baldinger, 18 June 2015. P.A.S. No. 327. The number 248 is written in pencil on back of P.A.S. label. "Verrill. 1864" is on back of disintegrating MCZ label, as are the numbers 154 and 327. There is a small paper label with "154" on it. Original MCZ Coelenterate Catalogue lists data for MCZ 154 as "Stylaster elegans V. ms" from "Ebon Is." The type locality for both S. elegans and D. nitida is Ebon Island, not Kingsmill Islands. Either the locality data on the labels, or the MCZ number is wrong. Removed from type collection, iv.2001. [ledger blank]
