Throughout the region this species seems to occur at numerous sta- 

 tions, but never in great numbers, as do some of the other species of the 

 genus. There is some variation in the color and material of which 

 the test is made, according to bottom conditions. The stations are 

 numerous, as noted, mostly in comparatively shallow and warm 

 water. They range in depth from 14 to 750 fathoms (25 to 1,370 

 meters), most of the stations, however, being in less than 300 fathoms 

 (549 meters), bottom temperatures, where recorded, ranging from 

 41.1° to 54.8° F. (5° C. to 12.6° C), most of them being near 50° F. 

 (10° C.) or more, the lower temperatures occurring at the deeper 

 stations. 



Most of the stations for this species are in the Archipelago proper, 

 but a few of the records are from Sibuko Bay, Borneo, and north of 

 Celebes.
