in the Philippine material I have had. To be sure, typical Globig- 

 erina-ooze deposits are not the common bottom in the region, but 

 Gldbigerina is not nearly so restricted in the area. It has occurred 

 at several stations — in the Flores Sea; Sulu Sea; Sogod Bay, southern 

 Leyte; Pacific Ocean, east coast of Mindanao; off southeastern 

 Mindoro; between Marinduque and Luzon; and east of Masbate 

 Island. The stations range in depth from 20 to 885 fathoms (37 to 

 1,618 meters). The average depth is 376 fathoms (689 meters)- 

 The bottom temperatures where given range from 38.2° to 63.1° F. 

 (3.4° C. to 17.2° C), the average being 51.2° F. (10.7° C).
