QUINQUELOCULINA PROCERA (Gog.9).

At a single station, D5236, Pacific Ocean, off the east coast of 

 Mindanao, in 494 fathoms (903 meters), this species is very abundant 

 and typical. It was not seen elsewhere in the region. 



Sidebottom records this form from off the east coast of Australia, 

 in 465 fathoms (850 meters), which is close to the Philippine station 

 in depth. 



The origijial material of Goes was from off the Galapagos Island, 

 and I have recorded it from Albatross D3346, off the west coast of 

 the United States. From these scattered stations it would seem to 

 be widely distributed in comparatively deep water in the Pacific 

 Ocean.
