FORAMINIFERA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 343 



latter in deeper water. In the Philippine material I have examined, 

 P. elegans was noted at 76 stations, ranging in depth from 24 to 

 1,092 fathoms (44 to 1,998 meters), averaging 365 fathoms (668 

 meters), while P. ijartscliiana occurred at but 11 stations, ranging 

 from 32 to 742 fathoms (59 to 1,357 meters), with the average 301 

 fathoms (551 meters). As a matter of interest the records were 

 compared for the two species and both species were recorded from 

 but two stations in common. This would indicate that, as far as this 

 area is concerned, the two species seem to be rather distinct. 



In this connection it seems worthy of note that in their Kerimba 

 Archipelago work " Heron-Allen and Earland record as noteworthy 

 the occurrence of P. partscliiana in very shallow water, and in the same 

 region they had a single specimen of P. elegans, and that is noted as 

 a "weak specimen." 



The distribution of P. elegans covers the whole area dredged, both 

 through the Archipelago and all the region to the southward in which 

 dredgings were made.
