. The ocean [microform]. Marine biology; Marine animals; Marine plants; Biologie marine; Faune marine; Flore marine. THE INDIAN OCEAN. 855 cucumber, whence they are sometimes termed Sea- cucumbers ; iu the water, however, the body is often. ine- to a Sba-CUCUUBers {H6lothu*-icB). greatly lengthened, and, on being touched, is sud- denly contracted so as completely to alter the form. The mouth is at one end of the animal, furnished wi«li shelly teeth con^^erging to a centre, as in the Star-fishes, and surrounded by numerous tentacles. Mr. Crawfurd describes it as ''an unseemly-look- ing substance, of a dirty-brown colour, hard, rigid, scarcely possessing any power of locomotion, nor appearance of animation." The usual length is eight or nine inches, the diameter about an inch, but some are two feet in length, and seven or eight inches in girth. They frequent the shallow waters, on reefs and in lagoons; often exposed on the rock, but sometimes nearly buried in the coral-sand, their feathered tentacles alone appearing and floating loosely in the water. The large kinds are often.
