the specimes agree closely with Shmidt's description of the type except that the spicules are little more than half as long; Name in original file:Rhaphidostyla pelligera
There was no specific information about sampling method.By the Preliminary Report seems to be the same as the whole expedition-dredge with an opening of 20x70 cm (1400 cm2).Depth is measured in fathom=1.8288 metres.All the excursions were one day trip. For work near the coast a small rowing boat was available. References: Steuer A. 1935. The fishery grounds near Alexandria. 1. Preliminary Report, Notes and Memoirs No 8.

Name in original file:Cacospongia mollior
irregular incrustation, agrees closely with the type in spiculation except that chelae appear to be absent; Name in original file:Clathria gradalis
of the four specimens, two are encrusting, as are all the other specimens so far described, but two are branching, possibly repent. In one the branches measure 3-5mm in diameter, in the other 8-10 mm in diameter.; Name in original file:Thalysias jolicoeuri
Name in original file:Hircinia variabilis
Name in original file:Spongia officinalis var. adriatica Schulze
several small encrusting specimens or fragments of pyramidal specimens, resemble the species so closely as to be in-distinguishable from it; Name in original file:Rhaphidostyla kitchingi
Name in original file:Ciocalypta penicillus
deep bluish-green colour; Name in original file:Tedania nigrescens
all specimens consist of fragments of cylindrical branches differing in no way from the examples from Western Europe; Name in original file:Adocia cinerea
dark sponge, gives red purple color when pressed; Name in original file:Tedania nigrescens
in the paper is written at 111 station on 1933-11-11 in 18 meters depth, but they have also species at 111 on 1933-11-9 in 18 meters in the same paper and in other egypt papers of this expedition, so most probably is a mistake and we keep the date 1933-11-9; Name in original file:Cliona viridis
Name in original file:Cinachyra australiensis
Name in original file:Spirastrella cunctatrix
Name in original file:Adocia semitubulosa
Name in original file:Chondrosia reniformis
the specimen is too small to assign to any particular variety, so that the distribution can only be spoken of in general terms; Name in original file:Spongia equina
Name in original file:Cacospongia cavernosa
a very small specimen, a few mm, across, too small to assign to any particular variety; Name in original file:Spongia officinalis
growing between Serpulid tubes; Name in original file:Sycon ciliatum
Name in original file:Haliclona fibulata
the single fragment appears to agree closely with the holotype of this species; Name in original file:Haliclona viridis
Name in original file:Cacospongia scalaris
the external form suggests Adocia grossa as does the skeleton, but the species is a well marked Haliclona.sponge massive. irregularly rounded. texture firm.yellowish -grey to yellowish- brown etc.; Name in original file:Haliclona steueri
Name in original file:Didiscus placospongioides
Name in original file:Rhaphidostyla marsillii
