figured in the 'Challenger' Report, pi. cxiii. fig. 13, which appears 

 to correspond with the definition of the genus more closely than 

 any of the other figured specimens, yet at p. 556 Brady, for some 

 reason or other, says that it is obviously nothing more than a 

 monstrosity. 



According to Brady it is not uncommon in the Mediterranean 

 at depths of less than 400 fathoms ; and occurs also off the Cape 

 of Good Hope, 150 fathoms; on the western shores of New 

 Zealand, 275 fathoms; and off Raine Island, Torres Strait, 155 

 fathoms. 



Silvestri records it from off the east coast of Sicily, 164 to 602 

 fathoms ; and fossil from the pliocene of Sienna.

This cosmopolitan form occurs at several Stations in both 

 Areas, but the examples are always small and wanting in character.

This compressed variety of Polymorphina lactea is much more 

 abundant than the type and occurs at a greater number of Stations.
