Geographical range. From the Maldive Islands and Ceylon to northern Aus- 

 tralia, the Solomon Islands, the Carolines, the Philippines, and Macclesfield Bank. 



Bathymetrical range. Littoral and sublittoral, occurring from the shore line 

 down to 278 meters; but there is only a single record greater than 64 meters. The 

 average of 23 definite depth records is 40 meters; omitting the record of 278 meters, 

 the average is 30 meters. But the species is probably commonest in shallower water.
