This seems to be a rare species for the region as far. as the material 

 shows, possibly owing to the fact that it seems to be more character- 

 istic of deeper waters. The only station at which material was re- 

 corded is 335349 in 730 fathoms (1,335 meters), Palawan Passage, 

 bottom temperature 40.6° F. (4.7° C). In material from this 

 station several typical specimens were found.

Although this species was found at 10 stations, but two of these 



are in the Philippines, or rather on their borders — D5236 in 494 



fathoms (903 meters). Pacific Ocean, east coast of Mindanao, and 



D5439, in 940 fathoms (1,719 meters), off the west coast of Luzon. 



To the southward it has occurred at three stations off Sibuko Bay. 



Borneo; in the Gulf of Tomini, Celebes; south of Patiente Strait; 



Molucca Sea; and Macassar Strait. The depths range from 260 to 



1,560 fathoms (476 to 2,853 meters), with the average 699 fathoms 



(1,278 meters). Bottom temperatures are given at six stations, rang-
