Title Echinoderms of Lakshadweep and their zoogeography
 
Creator James, D B
 
Subject Echinoderms
 
Description Dr. Stanley Gardiner carried out an
extensive survey in the Maldives'and Minicoy
Islands, the Southernmost of the Lakshadweep
group of Islands. Echinoderms other than the
holothurians were dealt by Bell (1902) who
reported four species of starfishes from Minicoy
Island. Corrections for some of the species
have been given by A. M. Clark and Davies
(1966). Koehlerand Vaney (1908) reported
three species of holothurians from the Lakshadweep.
Holothurians of Gardiner's collection
was dealt in a cursory manner by Pearson (1913
1914). James (1969) recorded forty species
of echinoderms from various Islands of the
Lakshadweep. Naghabushanam and Rao (1972)
reported 49 species of echinoderms from the
Minicoy Island, the identity of some need to be
checked. Miirty et al. (1979) reported the
notorious starfish the crown of thorns
Acanthaster planci from Minicoy Atoll. Recently
Mukhopadhyay and Samanta (2983)' reported
twelve species of holothurians from the Islands
of Androth, Kalpeni and Minicoy.
