This species was recorded by Brady off the Philippines in 95 fathoms 

 (174 meters). It is one of the characteristic species in the dredgings 

 from below 100 fathoms (1 83 meters), the range being 32 to 1,105 fath- 

 oms (59 to 2,021 meters), but one station being less than 100 fathoms 

 (183 meters), and the average 331 fathoms (606 meters). Bottom tem- 

 peratures range from 43 .3 ° to 59 .6° F. (6. 1 ° to 15.3 ° C. ), average 50.0° F. 

 (10° C). The stations include a wide range of localities: China Sea 

 off Formosa and eastern and southern Luzon; between Marinduque 

 and Luzon; off northwestern Panay; off' northern Cebu; between 

 Cebu and Bohol; Sogod Bay, southern Leyte; Sulu Sea, off Jolo and 

 Tawi Tawi; off eastern Palawan; and to the south at several stations 

 in Sibuko Bay, Borneo and Macassar Strait. Specimens do not 

 usually occur in very considerable numbers at any of the stations 

 but are large and well-developed.
