Appendix: The Sea Cucumbers of the Central Philippines What follows is a gallery of the species found with brief descriptions on appearance, behavior and habitat. Names are arranged alphabetically by genus while ignoring family arrangements. The English names are for the most part simply glosses of the Latin binomials. Note that these identifications are provisional, made in the field from gross appearance and ecology, rather than from detailed examination of ossicles. Several large and common species previously reported from the Philippines were not seen during this survey, notably, Thelenota ananas and Holothuria whitmaei. Others were seen, but not photographed, notably Holothuria coluber and H. hilla. Photographs and descriptions of most of these species can be found in published field guides on Indowest Pacific marine invertebrates, such as Colin and Arneson (1995), White (2001) and Allen and Steene (1995) 10
