## Abstract The title sponge is shown to contain eight new sesquiterpenoids for which a common, unusual biogenetic origin is postulated. The compounds are shown to be: (β)β(1__R__\*,4__R__\*)β3β(3β²βfuryl)methylβ2β__p__βmenthenβ7βyl acetate ((β)β**8b**); two diols separated as the monoacetates (β)β(
The sterol composition of Spheciospongia vesparia from the Caribbean Sea is reported. Three groups of sterols, \*5, \*0, \*5,7, were found. The isolated 5a,8a-epidioxy sterols appeared to be predominantly, if not exclusively, artifacts. The auto-oxidation of native \*5,7-sterols to 5a,8a-epidioxy st
