Pulvinulina procera H. B. Brady, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. 21, 1881, p. 

 661; Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 698, pi. 105, figs. 7a-c.— 

 CusHMAN, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 5, 1915, p. 62, pi. 24, fig. 2; pi. 25^ fig. 2. 



Brady described this species from three Challenger stations off 

 Kandavu, Fiji Islands, 210 fathoms (384 meters), Torres Strait, 

 off Kaine Island, 155 fathoms (283 meters), and off Cape York, 3 to 

 11 fathoms (5 to 20 meters). I have had the species previously from 

 off the Hawaiian Islands and off southern Japan. It is evidently a 

 tropical species of the Indo-Pacific, in comparatively shallow water. 

 It has occurred in the Philippine material in the following localities: 

 China Sea, off southern Luzon; off western Samar; China Sea, off 

 Hongkong; Darvel Bay, Borneo; vicinity of Jolo; vicinity of Rom- 

 blon; off northern Cebu; between Burias and Ijuzon; Pacific Ocean, 

 east coast of Mindanao; China Sea, off Formosa; Ragay Gulf, 

 Luzon; between Samar and Leyte; and north of Tawi Tawi. It 

 has, however, not been common at any of these stations, and was not 

 abundant in any of the shallow-water stations where other species 

 of this genus are very abundant.
