FOEAMINIFEEA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 143 



Valvulina conica M. Sars, Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1868, p. 249. — H. B. Brady, Rep. 

 Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 392, pi. 49, figs. 15, 16.— Ctjshman, 

 Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 2, 1911, p. 58, figs. 93a, b, c (in text). 



This has proved to be one of the commonest species in the whole 

 region, and well distributed records for its occmTence have been ob- 

 tained at about 50 stations. These range in depth from 24 to 1,560 

 fathoms (44 to 2,853 meters), but the great majority of these are 

 between 250 and 500 fathoms (457 and 914 meters). Bottom tem- 

 peratures range from 38.2° to 62.4° F. (3.4° to 16.8° C), correspond- 

 ing more or less with range of depth.
