- Abstract
The reef-dwelling octocorals at the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, were studied and revised. All specimens of the families Helioporidae, Clavulariidae, Alcyoniidae, Xeniidae and Briareidae were examined. This yielded 26 species including 13 new zoogeographical records for a variety of Indo-West-Pacifi c regions. The fi ndings indicate the bio-geographical importance of this collection, the majority of which was acquired during Mortensen's expeditions (1914-1915, 1922, and 1929-1930) and later during the Galathea expedition (1950-1952).
