 of Mindanao, 494 fathoms (90.3 meters), bottom temperature 41.2° F. 

 (5.1° C.);D5259, off northwestern Panay, 312 fathoms (571 meters),

This species was seen in material from three stations: D5236, off 

 the east coast of Mindanao, 494 fathoms (903 meters), bottom tem- 

 perature 41.2° F. (5.1° C); D5291, China Sea, vicinity southern 

 Luzon, 173 fathoms (316 meters), bottom temperature 51.5° F. 

 (10.8° C); and D5445, east coast of Luzon, 383 fathoms (699 

 meters), bottom temperature 44.3° F. (6.8° C). The specimens from 

 the last station were the most numerous and most nearly typical 

 of any.
