FORAMINIFERA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 199 



D5572, in 334 fathoms (611 meters), north of Tawi Tawi, bottom 

 temperatm-e 52.3° F. (11,2° C). The specimens were very abundant 

 at one of these stations. 



Brady described this species from the Challenger station in the 

 Philippines, depth 95 fathoms (174 meters), and from off Raine 

 Island, Torres Strait, 155 fathoms (2S3 meters). Sidebottom records 

 it from the east coast of Australia in 465 fathoms (850 meters). 

 Flint's specimen was from the Gulf of Mexico, where N. vertehralis 

 is abundant and may be a form of that species with few costae, or 

 the distribution of N. catenulata may include this region also.

Brady in the CJiaUenger Keport records this species in 95 fathoms, 

 (174 meters), off the Philippine Islands. The typical form has been 

 found to be abundant in this material, occurring off various coasts 

 of Luzon; off Romblon; Sogod Bay, southern Ley te ; east of Masbate; 

 Verde Island Passage; between Leyte and Mindanao; north of Tawi 

 Tawi; and farther south in Darvel Bay and Sibuko Bay, Borneo, 

 and Buton Strait. The depths range from 24 to 890 fathoms (44 to 

 1,628 meters), with the average 274 fathoms (502 meters), and the 

 bottom temperatures from 38.3° to 63.1° F. (3.5° to 17.2° C), with 

 the average 50.4° F. (10.2° C).
