with the material of the carina at either side. Brady records this 

 species at Challenger station 209 in 95 fathoms (174 meters) off the 

 Pliilippines. Our specimens are almost identical with the figured 

 specimens in the Challenger Keport. I have had material from the 

 following stations: D5121, east coast of Mindoro, 108 fathoms 

 (198 meters); D5272, China Sea, vicinity southern Luzon, 118 

 fathoms (203 meters), bottom temperature 57.4° F. (14.1° C); 

 D5261, off southeastern Mindoro, 145 fathoms (265 meters); D5543, 

 northern Mindanao and vicinity, 162 fathoms (297 meters), bottom 

 temperature 54.5° F. (12.5° C.) ; H4898, Sulu Sea off western Min- 

 danao, 221 fathoms (404 meters).

Specimens referred to this species are common in the dredgings 

 throughout the region, occurring at a large number of stations. They 

 are similar to the figure given in the North Pacific Monograph re- 

 ferred to above. It may be questioned whether the specimen I 

 figured there really is the T. dbhreviata of d'Orbigny, but throughout 

 the Philippine region and beyond, the specimens agree well with my 

 figured specimen. Most of the stations are in the Philippine Archi- 

 pelago, but the species is also common in the vicinity of Sibuko Bay, 

 Borneo. In depth the stations vary from 108 to 775 fathoms (198 

 to 1,417 meters), and the bottom temperature from 41.1° to 59.9° F. 

 (5° to 15.5° C).
