FOKAMINIFEEA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 349 



which this variety was described by Brady is one CliaUenger station 

 in the Philippines in 95 fathoms (174 meters.) Although the typical 

 form and the variety both occur conmionly in shallow water they 

 were most abundant in the Philippine material from 100 to 125 

 fathoms (183 to 229 meters).

In the Philippine region this species occurs at widely scattered 

 stations, usually not in any considerable numbers. It also keeps 

 to its usual condition of being found in comparatively deep water, 

 the range here being from 78 to 1,560 fathoms (143 to 2,853 meters), 

 the last in the Molucca Sea, average 530 fathoms (969 meters). Bot- 

 tom temperatures range from 41.2° F. to 73.8° F. (5.1° C. to 23.2° C), 

 average 52.7° F. (11.4° C). The localities include Mindoro Strait; off 

 Komblon; between Siquijor and Bohol; between Negros and Siqui- 

 jor; between Leyte and Mindanao; Sogod Bay, southern Leyte; 

 Pacific Ocean, east coast of Mindanao; Gulf of Davao, Mindanao; 

 north of Tawi Tawi; off Palawan; Darvel Bay, Borneo; Sibuko 

 Bay, Borneo; Molucca Sea; and Macassar Strait.
