Brady in the Challenger Report records this species from off the 

 Philippines in 95 fathoms (174 meters). Both in its typical form 

 and the two following varieties it has proved to be very common in 

 the region, most of the stations, however, being in the Philippine 

 Archipelago and occurring but once in the region to the southward. 

 Some of the stations gave abundant and often very complete speci- 

 mens, sho\ving the very long, slender, pointed proloculum, very 

 different from that usually found in this genus. 



The stations range in depth from 218 to 559 fathoms (399 to 1,021 

 meters), the average 387 fathoms (708 meters). The bottom tem- 

 peratures range from 41.2° to 53.8° F. (5.1° to 12.1° C), the average 

 being 48.6° F. (9.2° C.)
