rOKAMINIFEEA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 169 



The only station at which specimens referable to this species have 

 occurred is D5526, between Siquijor and Bohol Islands, 805 fathoms 

 (1,472 meters), bottom temperature 52.3° F. (10.1° C). 



This is a very rare species, described by Brady in the GJiallenger 

 report from off New Guinea, Torres Strait, and the Ki Islands in 

 3-129 fathoms (5-236 meters). Little more is known of its dis- 

 tribution. Egger records it from several localities, but his figures, 

 unless possibly in one case, do not represent the species. The one 

 Philippine specimen was typical.
