The "Iwado-line" is a line extending from Fujiyama Mountain (a rather low but certain landmark located south of Yokosuka city, Kanagawa Prefecture, with the older name of Togeyama Mountain) in the direction of Iwadoyama Mountain, the southern part of Miura city in the same prefecture. Rhabdocalyptus victor is a sponge, called "Tsurigane-kaimen" in Japanese.

Reference: Kinoshita, 1909: 121-122.
Remarks: Both Chikura, the locality name on the label, and Chikura Island, the locality name in the reference, seem to be an error for Tsukurase Island, because one of the coral grounds of Kagoshima Prefecture is located off Tsukurase Island according to Kitahara (1904). Furthermore Siphonogorgia sp. (UMUTZ-Cnid-A-50) was collected from near Tsukurase Island (津倉瀬島) by the same collector on 13 July 1899. This label is an official label of the Albatross Expedition.

Collector: Kumao Kinoshita.
Label data: "Ushibuka, Amakusa, 1908 Juni, Kinoshita leg., durch Taucher".

Collector: Kumakichi Aoki.
Label data: "Bashford Dean Collection, Loc. Station 1, 92 hiro, Date. 2 June 1905, Collector: Kuma".
Remarks: This species apparently belongs to the subgenus Morchellana based on its growth form; however, Tixier-Durivault & Prevorsek (1960) considered it to be a member of the subgenus Roxasia.
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-13: one colony.
Locality: Sagami Bay, Doketsuba (see Remarks for UMUTZ-Cnid-A-91), 180 fathoms (i.e., ca. 330 m).
Date: 12 August 1895.

UMUTZ-Cnid-A-36; one colony.
Date: 6 August 1894.
Label data: "Station 13, 6/VIII 94".

UMUTZ-Cnid-A-11; two colonies.

Date: 10 August 1903.
Collector: Fishing trawler Ohnoura-maru.
Label data: "新嶋沖20町, ケタアミ, 明治36年8月10日, 大の浦丸".
Remarks: Both the sharpness of the polyps and the arrangement of the sclerites of the anthocodial armature closely resemble those of D. (M.) longicaulis (Kukenthal); however, the branching form of the colony is quite different.
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-107; one colony.

Label data: "Bishamon-gake, Kimuraippai, 80 hiro, 1913 VII 21, Coll. H. Matsumoto, H. Chiba".
Remarks: Probably a young colony. The meaning of "Bishamon-gake" is probably Bishamon-line, which is probably a line extending from Fujiyama Mountain (see Remarks for UMUTZ-Cnid-A-96) in the direction of Bishamon Bay located in the southern part of Miura city, Kanagawa Prefecture. I could not confirem the location of "Kimuraippai".
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-115; one fragment.
Locality: Sagami Bay, about 2 km off Niijima Island.
Date: 10 August 1893.
Collector: Fishing trawler Ohnoura-maru.

Dendronephthya (M.) sp. 2 トゲトサカ属の一種
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-40; two colonies.
Locality: Sagami Bay, Uraga Channel, Jirouzaemonba, 120 fathoms (i.e., ca. 220 m).

Collectors: Juta Hara and Moriwaki".
Label data: "産地 浦賀水道 次郎左衛門場 120尋, エナ掛け, 青山○○ [illegible], 明治33年8月17日採集 原, 森脇".
Remarks: The meaning of "エナ掛け"is "Ena-line". This is a line from Fujiyama Mountain (see Remarks for UMUTZ-Cnid-A-96) in the direction of Ena in the southeastern part of the Miura Peninsula. It seems that the collecting point lies south of the Miura Peninsula, although I could not confirm the precise location of "Jirozaemonba 次郎左衛門場". The anthocodial formula of these specimens was not determined in this study.

Collector: Prof. Isao Ijima.
Label data: "3 ri of Shimonoseki, 300 Hiro, 14/7 94, Ijima, 70%".

Gersemia cf. rubiformis (Ehrenberg) アカキタトサカ?
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-60; one colony.
Locality: Eastport, Maine, U.S.A.
Label data: "Alcyonium carneum Sp., Eastport Me. ○○○ [illegible]".
Remarks: The latter half of the label was extremely hard to read. Alcyonium carneum Verrill is a junior synonym of Gersemia rubiformis, according to Utinomi (1961). This specimen had been stored in formalin, and also had once dried out.
Lemnalia cf. cervicornis (May) ロッカクウミゼリ?

チヂミトサカ属の一種 (和名未定種)
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-7; two colonies.
Locality: Probably Sagami Bay, Kozushima Island.
Label data: "神集嶋".
Remarks: The supporting bundle of this specimen is less well developed than that shown in the original description of this species. There are two "神集島" Islands in Japan: the old name of Kozushima (神津島) in Sagami Bay is "神集島", and the present Kashiwajima (神集島) is located off Karatsu city, Saga Prefecture in Kyushu.
Nephthea sp. チヂミトサカ属の一種
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-3; two colonies.
Locality: Okinawa Prefecture, Kyan-misaki Cape, Itoman city.
Date: 12 April 1901.
Collectors: Prof. Kakichi Mitsukuri & Iwaji Ikeda.
Label data: "沖縄糸満キャム岬 モグリ, 明治34年4月12日, 箕作, 池田".

Paraspongodes sp. ウミツゲ属の一種
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-10; one colony.
Locality: Sagami Bay.
Collector: Kumakichi Aoki.
Label data: "Eunephthya spiculosa Kukenthal, Loc. Sagami Bay, Date. ? Coll. K. Aoki"
References: Utinomi, 1951: 30-31, 1960: 20-22.
Remarks: This specimen was identified as Eunephthya spiculosa Kukenthal (= Paraspongodes spiculosa) by Utinomi (1951, 1960). According to Utinomi's paper, there was another label, "Eunephthya spiculosa det. K. Kinoshita. Collected by K. Aoki", which I could not find. However, the type specimens of P. spiculosa have slender rods peculiar to the genus Scleronephthya in the polyps according to the figures of the original description (Kukenthal, 1906), and my preliminary studies on the type specimen confirm this (Imahara, unpublished). It seems that this specimen belongs to the genus Paraspongodes or Chromonephthea on account of the polyps not having have these peculiar slender rods.
Stereonephthya japonica Utinomi キバナトサカ
UMUTZ-Cnid-A-15; one colony.
Locality: Kagoshima Bay, probably Shimizucho, Kagoshima city.

Remarks: The locality was ascertained based on a published record of the collection trip of Prof. Kakichi Mitsukuri with Juta Hara to Kagoshima in 1896 (Isono, 1988). There are two 神瀬 in Kagoshima Prefecture i.e., a deep bank off Ibusuki city (see Telesto tubulosa: UMUTZ-Cnid-A-103) and a small Island in Kagoshima Bay. The locality was considered to later, because the habitat of this species is shallow bottom.

Label data: "産地 同穴場 60尋, 明治41年1月10日 採集 木下".
Remarks: The color of these colonies closely resembles that of Stereonephthya osimaensis Utinomi, but the size of the polyps is considerably smaller, and the construction of the anthocodial armature quite different. Stereonephthya papyracea has been recorded only once previously, from the type locality in Palau by Kukenthal (1905).
