At tv/o stations specimens of this species were rare. These were 

 D5210, off western Samar, 50 fathoms (91 meters), bottom tempera- 

 tm-e 76.3° F. (24.6° C), and D5630, south of Patiente Strait, 569 

 fathoms (1,081 meters), bottom temperature not recorded. 



The previous North Pacific records for this species are off the 

 Hawaiian IsLands and Gaspar Straits. Millett records it in his 

 Malay Archipelago paper in the region adjacent to that of our 

 southern stations recorded here.

Brady m the Oliallenger report refers to this variety as the ''much 

 elongated, subcylmdi-ical, arenaceous Textulariae," which are very 

 common ''in some localities, especially about the coral reefs of the 

 tropics." In the shallow water dredgings in the Philippine region 

 this form is extremely abundant among the reefs, ranking with 

 T. rugosa, T. vertehralis, and other species m numbers. It is not 

 always found in company with specimens which may be referred to 

 T. agglutinans, and withal in the Philippine material seems worthy 

 of specific rank. 



Specimens occur at many stations under 50 fathoms (91 meters), 

 but comparatively few show greater depths. The species is much 

 more common in the southern half of the Archipelago. In two cases 

 the temperature of the bottom is given for the shallow-water stations, 

 76.3° F. (24.6° C.) and 79.5° F. (26.3° C). A few specimens were
