It i s undoubtedly t r u e t h a t published c o r a l records from Aldabra a r e based on l e s s than ha l f of t h e t o t a l amount of c o r a l mater ia l which has a c t u a l l y been co l l ec ted there . The present check l i s t therefore provides only a p a r t i a l p i c t u r e of Aldabra 's c o r a l fauna. Large cora l c o l l e c t i o n s were evident ly made by Voeltzkow and by Fryer (Sladen Expedit ion), b u t only a f r a c t i o n of t h e i r ma te r i a l has ever been studied. Stoddart (1971) has given an account of these e a r l i e r expedit ions. He po in t s ou t , however, t h a t u n t i l the v i s i t s by t h e C a l y p s o Expedition (Cousteau, Cherbonnier) and by J.L.B. Smith, both i n 1954, no s p e c i a l i s t marine co l l ec t ions had been made a t Aldabra. Cherbonnier co l l ec ted c o r a l s and o ther groups, and Smith co l l ec ted f i shes . The Cousteau-Cherbonnier c o r a l c o l l e c t i o n has r ecen t ly been i d e n t i f i e d by D r . Michel Pichon (James Cook Universi ty of North Queensland) and myself, and an account i s cur ren t ly i n preparat ion. The next most important period of co ra l c o l l e c t i o n i s t h e most recent . This i s represented by the s e r i e s of phases of t h e Royal Society Expedition t o Aldabra, and associa ted v i s i t s , reconnaissance, e t c , , which began i n 1966. Only the c o r a l s from Phase V I have so f a r been i d e n t i f i e d . Drew (1977) r ecen t ly published a few photographs of the ecologica l t r a n s e c t s c a r r i e d out by the Phase V I pa r ty , and I have included a few i d e n t i f i c a t i o n s t h a t were poss ib le from the photographs. There remain the Phase I , I1 and V co l l ec t ions . The c o r a l s from the f i r s t two of these Phases were co l l ec ted by D r . John Taylor ( B r i t i s h Museum (Natural H i s t o r y ) ) , and together with t h e Phase V I c o r a l s c o n s t i t u t e the most important of the Aldabra c o r a l co l l ec t ions . Unfortunately, only the s i g h t records f o r c o r a l s from Phases I and I1 have so f a r been published. For Phase V, Brander et a l . (1971) mentioned a few names, bu t presumably a more extensive c o l l e c t i o n awaits published i d e n t i f i c a t i o n s . A number of i d e n t i f i c a t i o n s of both Frye r ' s and Taylor ' s mater ia l were incorporated i n an account of c o r a l zoogeography i n t h e Indian Ocean (Rosen 1971b, see t a b l e s ) , but i n t h a t paper, Aidabra was considered together with neighbowring i s l a n d s ("Aldabra-Glorioso group") and the information i n the t a b l e s cannot therefore be quoted here. A l l bu t two poss ib le generic records i n t h a t l i s t however a r e covered i n the p resen t check l i s t . The opportunity i s a l s o taken here t o give the r e g i s t e r numbers of specimens of Aldabra mater ia l bu t only where authors have previously published them. F ina l ly it may be noted t h a t of a l l the co ra l mater ia l from Aldabra, only s i x genera (Dgderlein, 1902, Matthai, 1914, 1928) have ever been f u l l y described. REMARKS ON THE CORAL FAUNA F i f t y f i v e co ra l genera* have so f a r been described o r l i s t e d . * subgenera a r e counted a s separa te genera i n t h i s d iscuss ion Of these , 4 a r e non-scleract inians, and 4 a r e ahermatypic s c l e r a c t i n i a n ~ one o f which i s only a s i g h t record (Paracyathus). Of the remaining 47 (hermatypic) genera, one (Stylocoenie l la) is only a s i g h t record. I n add i t ion t o t h e c o r a l s l i s t e d here, two f u r t h e r genera may be p resen t a t Aldabra: Merulina and Plerogyra, s ince they appear i n t h e Aldabra-Gloriosogrouplist (Rosen 1971b). On the o ther hand, two genera (Physophyllia and Gyrosmilia) i n the p resen t check l ist requ i re v e r i f i c a t i o n by re-examination of the o r i g i n a l specimens. The f i g u r e of 46 hermatypic c o r a l genera seems the re fo re t o be a reasonable in te r im working t o t a l . This f igure d i f f e r s from the 50 given by Rosen (1971b, t a b l e 1, l i n e b) f o r t h e Aldabra-Glorioso group. Three genera i n t h a t t abu la t ion required confirmation, two of these being t h e genera discussed above and a l s o l i s t e d here. The t h i r d however, Anomastraea, has now been re-examined and i s i n f a c t a Coscinaraea (see check l i s t f o r d e t a i l s ) . P l e s i o s e r i s i n the e a r l i e r l i s ts i s now no longer regarded a s a d i s t i n c t subgenus of Psammocora (see below), and f i n a l l y the re a r e the two genera (Merulina and Plerogyra) known from elsewhere i n the Aldabra-Glorioso group but not a s y e t from Aldabra i t s e l f . Four genera may the re fo re be subt rac ted from the Aldabra-Glorioso l i s t i n order t o make it comparable with the p resen t one, and t h i s leaves 46 hermatypic genera, i . e . , one fewer than here. This does not however s i g n i f y the addi t ion of a new generic record a s t h e new name, ~ a r d i n e r o s e r i s appears by reason of synonymy changes a f f e c t i n g Agar ic i e l l a and Leptoser is . ~t i s l e s s easy t o be p rec i se about numbers of co ra l species a t Aldabra, even i f the perennia l problem of what c o n s t i t u t e s a co ra l species i s disregarded. There a r e 95 named species here, taking a l l "cf ." forms a s d i s t i n c t . I n add i t ion , the re a r e 8 genera f o r which the re a r e only unnamed species records ("sp ." , "spp," , e t c . ) , o r no mention of species a t a l l , I have a r b i t r a r i l y counted a l l t hese records a s one species f o r each genus concerned, so bringing the t o t a l EO 103 species . (Note t h a t i n the l i s t which fol lows, unnamed species records have been t r e a t e d a s genus records. See next s e c t i o n ) . Of the 103 species reckoned i n t h i s way, 6 a r e non-scleract inians and a f u r t h e r 4 a r e ahermatypes, leaving a t o t a l of 93 hermatypes, Two of these r equ i re v e r i f i c a t i o n , S igh t records inc lude 1 ahermatype, 5 hermatypes. By comparison with o the r Indian Ocean reef regions, t h e above f igures suggest t h a t few new s c l e r a c t i n i a n genera w i l l be added by f u r t h e r work on Aldabra c o r a l s , bu t t h a t many more species (o r "species") may w e l l be recorded. On t h e f i r s t po in t , Rosen (1971b) in te rpo la ted only a f u r t h e r 5 genera, 3 of them fungi ids , f o r t h e Aldabra-Glorioso group. Verri l lofungia, Ctenact i s , Halomitra, Alveopora and Oulophyllia. For non-scleract inians, the re i s a good p o s s i b i l i t y of more hydrocoral genera and of species , because i n various works by Boschma t h e r e a r e species known from nearby i s l a n d s no t a s y e t recorded from Aldabra. Because of t h e Cousteau-Cherbonnier l i s t currently. i n prepara t ion , it is not use fu l t o d iscuss zoogeographical a spec t s here, except perhaps t o draw a t t e n t i o n t o "shrinkage" i n t h e Indian Ocean d i s t r i b u t i o n of Rnomastraea, following i t s e l iminat ion from Aldabra (see Rosen 1971b, f i g . 8 ) . NOTES ON THE PRESENTATION OF THE CORAL RECORDS The l i s t gives a l l known s c l e r a c t i n i a n records, together with t h e usual c o r a l l i n e reef oc tocora ls and hydrozoans.
