Information
“産地 鹿児島県下枕崎モグリ, 明治32年8月7日採集 宮嶋”; “spicules damaged by Formal”.

Remarks Colony: two pieces of one colony.
I could not confirm the precise location of “Shimomakurazaki (下枕崎)”. It seems that these specimens were examined by F. M. Bayer, because the second label is an official label of the U. S. National Museum.
