Although few specimens have occurred at any one station, never- 

 theless numerous stations have yielded records for this species: 

 China Sea, off Luzon; Sogod Bay, southern Leyte; off western Luzon; 

 between Luzon and Marinduque; eastern Palawan; between Leyte 

 and Mindanao; between Samar and Leyte; between Siquijor and 

 Bohol; north of Tawi Tawi; Gulf of Tomini, Celebes, and Molucca 

 Sea. With the exception of the last, all these stations are within the 

 Archipelago. The depths range from 24 to 766 fathoms (44 to 1,400 

 meters), with the average depth 368 fathoms (673 meters), the 

 average bottom temperature being 53.9° F. (12.1° C). 



A figure is given of a very attenuate specimen which was uncoiled 

 almost from the beginning. It is a rather unusual form for this 

 species.
